Caught in one of our traps after a concerned member of the public spotted wire around her waist, this female fox has left all of us completely speechless. What was initially thought to be loose wire turned out to be a homemade snare. A snare that had been on the poor girl so long that it had grown deep into her body...

Worse still, she was a mother with young cubs and, whilst that meant that no internal structures had been compromised, it meant that time was now ticking to get her back home.

Removing the wire was by no means an easy task. lead vet, Tom, and charity founder, Sue, worked into the early hours using sterile tubing and a lot of patience to slowly work everything free. Although the snare is now removed, the clock is now ticking and we need your help to get her back home...

With blood tests, specialist long-term antibiotics and other treatments needed to maximise her chance at recovery, we are asking for your help to fund her care. Please help us get her back home. Her cubs need their mum.
