Hey, it’s Vlad. This is a public service announcement brought to you by Vlad, JABCECC and Ewok the Fox.
Have you ever wondered what happens to all the foxes out there that find themselves in a difficult situation?? Well perhaps you should. Whether they are born on a fur farm, end up as an unwanted pet, or are born in the wild but for whatever reason can no longer live there, they all need a safe place they can call home. Thankfully, there are kind humans around that make it their mission to rescue many of these foxes.
Personally, I was rescued from Siberia. Compared to some foxes I didn’t have it bad, although some days it was so cold I probably could’ve cut glass with my nipples. The thing is, being a fox with such exemplary talents, I could never live up to my full potential where I was and likely had a dire future. My whole life changed when JABCECC was successful in the Herculean task of bringing me to America 🇺🇸. I’m not sure if it’s shear tenacity or utter insanity that drives the founders to help us canids. They willingly donate their time and money to make all us residents as happy as possible. When we get a call about a canid in need, they move heaven and earth to find the resources to give that animal a good and meaningful life. In return, of course we give them plenty of poop and other bodily fluids. They also get to deal with our medical issues ranging from the minor to the major. Then there are the issues of running a non profit, from the paperwork to the permits to the personnel to the funding etc. The more I think about it the more I come to believe the utter insanity explanation makes the most sense . Of course their generosity is rewarded by all of us with our love and appreciation, shown by each of us in our own way. I, for instance, do my best not to give the founders a look of haughty derision more than two times a day..it’s a big sacrifice on my part.
Similar stories to this play out all around. Rescues, run by selfless people, helping animals in need. The thing we all have is common is the need for help. Be it volunteering or donations, do what you can, you will be glad you did.
