Red Fox #16-1195 update

Red Fox #16-1195 has been doing well in the Center's Bear Pen for the past couple of weeks. The fox is able to ambulate well and can also easily climb into the "sink" built into the enclosure.

The staff would like to assess the fox in a larger space to ensure she can exercise and prepare for release. While the Center does have three flight pens with underground fencing that are suitable for foxes, the Center is also caring for a high volume of raptor patients, so space has been at a premium this summer! Rockfish Sanctuary, a nearby wildlife rehabilitation center, has room in their fox enclosures for this fox; on August 17, the fox will be transferred for additional assessment in a larger space.
