Today marks one year since our precious Melody went to heaven after a 10 month long battle with a rare form of leukemia.

Melody loved her animals and she loved to show them love! We're asking for everyone to join us in honoring and celebrating Melody's memory by showing a little extra love and affection to a special animal(s) friend in your life today. Whether it be a hug, kiss (that was Melody's favorite way to love on her animals), snuggles or extra treats, do something a little extra special and loving for the furry friend(s) in your life. We would love to see how Melody's memory and love of animals is being celebrated today. Make sure to snap a photo or take a video of you showing your furry friend a little extra love and tag us in it.

Thank you for helping us remember and honor our precious girl today!

Trying to garden today look a little longer than intended, but Ham's silly shenanigans make it more fun! Ham really is one of the friendliest and people obsessed foxes I have ever met. Most foxes aren't like Ham, but we are so honored to be this sweet boys forever home!

Welcome Flounder! We have been busy here at Walking Wild welcoming 6 new friends over the last two weeks! The first we want to introduce you to is Flounder.

Flounder, along with another little friend (intro coming later for him) were siezed be law enforcement for neglect. The law enforcement agency that seized them, is one we have worked with in the past. As soon as the animals were cleared they reached out to see if we would be able to provide a forever home and we were happy we had the space and could welcome them to the family.

Despite the living conditions that flounder was described as living in, he got a clean bill of health from our vet. Flounder is a very sweet boy. He loves his new buddies and is getting more confident every day!

When emergency situations, like Flounder's, arrise we are only able to help with your support! To donate and ensure we are able to keep saying yes to helping fox in need:

Venmo: WalkingWildRescue (make sure to add rescue)

We are 100% dependent on your donations to save lives. Thank you for your life-saving support!

Everyone got new sunshades and some of our crew have decided they also make great hammocks! Who else is a fan of the crazy fox hairdos when they are blowing winter coats? 😂

We are always looking for new ways to improve our crews spaces. Although all of our animals have climate controlled indoor spaces, providing more shade for those sunny breezy days is one way that we have upgraded everyone's spaces over the past week. Thank you to a wonderful donor for purchasing all our new dual purpose sun shades!

If you are someone that would like to donate, but prefers to donate items rather than monitarily, please send us a DM or email [email protected]. We are currently working on a few enclosure improvment projects and adding simple things that will make a big impact.

This is a HUGE deal. These coyotes arrived terrified of people. Just the sight of a person in the distance or the sound of footsteps caused panic and pacing. Today I can walk by them and up to them and they are comfortable enough they don't jump at the sound of my feet or presence. They are completely relaxed and comfortable. They just keep napping, no panic and no freak out and this brings me so much joy! This is our only goal for every animal at our sanctuary, that they are happy, comfortable and relaxed. We are every animal in our cares forever home and home should be a relaxing happy place and that is what we give each animal here.

We had a crazy fun time spending all last week with our brand new friend from UCLA. We were contacted a few months ago about helping with a communication study that a group of researchers is conducting at UCLA on play vocalizations in foxes. Super cool, right? One of the wonderful members of the UCLA team spent all last week with us recording audio of our crew playing. We had so much fun in reducing foxes to new friends that they had never met, encouraging crazy play and are already bonded groups, play vocalizations of kits and kits and their parents, recording play vocalizations of the foxes when they play with humans as well as when they interact with other species like dogs. It was a jam packed week! Can't wait to learn all about the research when it's compiled and finished to see what fun things we can learn about Fox play communication as a whole!

Loving pets is a new thing for pretty miss Cinderella. Cinderella has been friendly since the day she arrived, but she proffered to do the touching rather than recieve it, but lately she has had a chance of heart and has decided she enjoys being on the receiving end of lovins.

Cinderella came to us after being abandoned and dumped in the wild. Thanks to a good Samaritan that took the time to earn Cindy's trust, catch her and get her to us she is safe and living her best life!

Alice is asking for your help! Spring is here which means it's time for all of the outside portions of our enclosures to get new mulch.

Saturday we have a group of Boy Scouts coming out to help us with this huge project. We need 55 cubic yards of mulch to get everyone done.

The non-splintering Mulch that we get cost $40 a cubic yard.

We're asking for 55 of our followers to donate $40 today so that we can purchase all the mulch that we need.

We save a lot of money by purchasing all of our mulch at once on delivery fees.

I will be updating everyone throughout the day and our stories as to how many more people we need to donate $40 to reach our goal.

How to donate:

🦊 visit walkingwildrescue.org
🦊 on Instagram click the link in our bio
🦊 click the link in our stories
🦊 Venmo (be sure to include rescue so it doesn't go to a different person)
🦊 Paypal (be sure to include rescue so it doesn't go to a different person)

Alice myself and the entire walking wild crew can't thank you enough
