Save a Fox is a United States-based nonprofit organization specializing in the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of captive-born foxes. The organization operates facilities in Minnesota and Florida, providing care to foxes, as well as other small mammals, that have been rescued from fur farms, pet surrenders, and other situations. Ethan Frankamp currently serves as the director of the organization.
Overview
Founded in 2017 by Mikayla Raines, Save a Fox is one of the largest fox rescues in the world. The organization is known for its advocacy for fox welfare, educational outreach, and for raising awareness about the conditions of captive-born foxes. Save a Fox provides shelter, veterinary care, socialization, and works to find adoptive homes for foxes that cannot be released into the wild.
Minnesota
The original and main Save a Fox facility is located in central Minnesota. This site serves as the headquarters and primary rescue center. The Minnesota facility includes specialized outdoor enclosures, quarantine areas, and an on-site veterinary care program. The team rescues foxes from fur farms, pet owners who can no longer care for them, and other situations where foxes are at risk. The facility is also home to occasional raccoon, skunk, and domestic dog rescues. Save a Fox in Minnesota has garnered widespread attention through social media, with videos and stories that highlight both the rescue process and the personalities of the resident foxes.
Florida
In 2024, Save a Fox expanded to open a rescue and rehabilitation facility in Florida. The Florida site focuses on accommodating foxes and other exotic mammals from the southeastern United States, where climate, legal, and welfare issues can differ from those in Minnesota. The Florida facility supports the organization's broader mission of rescue, providing an additional base for educational outreach, and facilitating adoption or sanctuary placement for animals in the region.
