Rescue

When Little Lil arrived, she was thin, dehydrated, and her skin was extremely sore and dry. She had been suffering from severe mange for quite some time.

Once safely brought to WAF, she was immediately given food, fluids and medication to help fight the mange.

For the time being, thanks to the kind people that brought her in, and our amazing team, she had a safe space where she could rest and begin to recover.

Rehabilitation

A month passed, and during this time, Little Lil received lots of treatment, food and round-the-clock care from our dedicated team. After a while, this little girl began to grow her beautiful coat back.

As her fur returned, so did her health and happiness, and we finally started to see the cheeky fox that was hiding underneath all that suffering. I mean, just look at that smile!

Little Lil is an extremely curious, observant fox, always watching and wondering what is going on around her. Whenever someone was close by, you could guarantee Little Lil would be there watching closely.

Release

After her treatment was complete, she was finally ready to return to the wild, where she could continue to explore and let her curiosity grow.

Thanks to the help of our dedicated team, Little Lil was given a second chance. If you would like to help other foxes like her, please, consider adopting a fox, today.
