Viral video brings attention to rescue foxes
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A Minnesota fox rescue group is getting national attention Saturday night after one of their videos goes viral.
SaveAFox group says their phone is ringing off the hook. A lot of people are inquiring about making the foxes one of their pets.
“We’ve had a few videos go viral and every time they do we get an influx of e-mails and messages,” said Ethan Frankamp, who works with SaveAFox in Lakeville.
The rescue group takes in domesticated foxes that aren’t fit to be released back into nature.
“All the foxes here are domesticated but some of them are pretty wild,” Frankamp said.
SaveAFox will adopt out the animals, but not everybody is a fit.
“There’s really not a lot of people who try to adopt that actually end up adopting,” Frankamp said. “It takes a pretty special person in the right circumstance and location to adopt a fox from us.”
People interested should first check with their city, county and state. Not all communities will allow people to own a fox.
