Lucan has been known to be a bit of a dork and routinely finds himself trying to sit on guests’ laps, rolling upside down at their feet, and just being a complete goofball. When he is involved in a photoshoot, he usually spends most of the time trying to lick the face of the human in the photoshoot with him. We try to make him look majestic, but sometimes, it just isn’t possible.

In the middle of 2020, we were informed by a researcher we work with that she had fallen in love with a tiny kit fox at the ICG. This started the “Panda and Her Pals” project, because beyond the usual hurdles of permits, transport, and customs, JABCECC faced the new challenge of COVID travel restrictions.

Weighing in around 17.5 pounds, Yuri is one of our largest red foxes. This “quiet giant” is well-loved by the other foxes. He is often featured on Friday’s Chat w/ Vlad for his love of Bear Claws. But don’t let that size fool you: He is still a cunning fox and is known to nab phones or hats without you noticing!

Sweet mama Luxx was born at a zoo in Canada. To help preserve the NGSD lineage and continue our conservation and education efforts, she was bred with another NGSD and gave birth to a conservation litter of 5 healthy pups in 2017. Two of those pups (Nicky and Stumpy) stayed with us at JABCECC to help further our mission.

Nicky was the firstborn of our NGSD conservation litter in 2017. Calm, cool, and confident, Nicky is an excellent ambassador for Singers. Within just a few minutes of meeting him, you’re likely to see some unique NGSD behavior, including a sassy head toss. Though Nicky gets excited to meet new people, he only likes it on his specific terms: He wants you to stand still, look straight ahead, and let him lick your face.

With sass, spice, and everything nice, our little Mae is named after the famous vaudeville star, Mae West. This little leading lady is spunky, confident, and knows how to use her sharp baby teeth! She’s best friends with Clara, whose sweetness will hopefully tame down some of Mae’s spicy tendencies.

Wilson, and her sister Agnes, were found at a day old after their mom was killed. Willie, is friendlier towards men, and all she wants is for Dave to bring her chicken all day long. See ‘Our Animals’ page to learn more about her!
