Today this little cub came to us, very frightened and very dehydrated.
After eating puppy food and lapping up loads of rehydration fluid, the cub has made a great start to recovery.
Update – This little girl has now been moved on tho the Little Fox Project in Oxford. This organisation specialising in putting cubs of similar age together, preparing them for release back into the wild. A happy ending.

We persevered with her, the main difficulty was her broken leg. To our amazement this beautiful bird made a full recovery and today she was…
Meet 1 of today’s emergencies who we’ve called Jasmine. Yes, that is a broken leg but also a broken leg that has been left untreated and has set in the worst possible way. Not only that but Jasmine was also dumped at the side of the road. It’s unbelievable the sheer amount of cruelty cases…
