Every year, our sanctuary in Germany gives 20–25 injured or orphaned fox cubs a second chance at life. 🦊🌲
Each little fox arrives at TIERART Wild Animal Sanctuary (TIERART Wildtierstation) with a different story. Since 2012, over 200 foxes have been successfully rehabilitated and released back into safe forest habitats where foxes are native and hunting is not permitted. ❌
From tiny, milk-dependent cubs to wild, independent foxes, their journey is incredible to witness. In their early weeks, they’re cared for in small enclosures where they can receive the attention and medical support they need. As they grow, they move into larger outdoor spaces where they learn to rely less on humans, rediscover their natural instincts, and become wary again, just as they should be in the wild. 🌿
By around 5 - 6 months old, they’re ready. Released in small groups into carefully chosen, quiet areas far from roads and people, they begin their new lives in nature. While we can’t control where they roam, we give them the very best possible start. 🐾
And every time we open those enclosure doors, it’s a truly special moment, watching them run free after months of care is something we’ll never take for granted. 💕
