			## The Felix Foundation Wild Canine Rehab and Sanctuary

			The Felix Foundation Wild Canine Rehab and Sanctuary is a home-based, nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation center and sanctuary located in Howell, Michigan, United States. Licensed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the facility specializes in the care of wild canines, including red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus), grey foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), and coyotes (Canis latrans). The organization rehabilitates injured and orphaned animals for release into the wild and provides permanent sanctuary for individuals that cannot be released due to injury, disability, or captive origins.

			### History

			The Felix Foundation was founded by Jolene Matousek, a wildlife rehabilitator with over 18 years of experience and certification from the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council (IWRC). Matousek began operating the sanctuary from her home in Howell, Michigan, after obtaining the required state licensing. Since its founding, the organization has grown to handle more than 200 animals annually, with a focus on foxes and other wild canines.

			### Operations

			The sanctuary operates year-round, with peak activity during spring and summer, known as “baby season,” when orphaned young animals are most frequently admitted. The facility houses a combination of temporary rehabilitation enclosures and permanent habitats for non-releasable residents.

			In addition to direct animal care, the Felix Foundation provides public education on co-existing with wildlife, humane eviction assistance for nuisance wildlife, and information on fox ownership laws and enclosure requirements in Michigan.

			### Fire and Recovery Efforts

			In 2023, the founder’s home sustained severe fire damage. Although no animals were injured—since they were housed outdoors—the incident caused significant operational and financial strain. In the aftermath, the organization appealed for donations, volunteer assistance, and supply contributions to sustain its operations during recovery.

			### Funding

			The Felix Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It relies entirely on public donations, sponsorship programs, and in-kind contributions. Its sponsorship tiers—ranging from Silver (\$25/month) to Platinum (\$100/month)—offer supporters benefits such as photographs of sponsored animals, annual calendars, and social media recognition. The sanctuary also maintains an Amazon wish list for supplies.

			### Education and Outreach

			The organization engages with the public through social media updates, educational events, and informational resources on its website. Programs focus on wildlife awareness, the ecological role of predators, and the importance of responsible human-wildlife interactions.
