In March of 2020 Walking Wild opened our doors with the arrival of six very special little lives. We were months away from intending to open, however we were asked if we could move our timeline up and take part in a 30 fox rescue mission alongside a handful of other rescues across the country. We said yes and Walking Wild began.
We realize not everyone knows the story or faces of our six Walking Wild OG’s. Over the next few days, we will be sharing their adorable faces and stories with all of you.
Our first two OG’s we want to introduce are Buzz and Woody. Buzz and Woody began their life on a fur farm destined to be killed for their fur. After the fur farmer passed away, they went from one house of horrors to another. A person connected to the fur farmer took in the foxes that were still living. Not prepared for caring for 30 foxes, they stacked all the foxes in small filthy cages, in a dark room where they lived in piles of f***s and urine. It is hard to think that anything can be worse than a fur farm, but these conditions were. Buzz and Woody had urine burns on their feet and chewed ears from being stacked and getting their ears chewed on by the foxes above and beside them. They had never felt solid ground, had a toy, a companion to snuggle with or room to play. March 26, 2020 Buzz and Woody finally escaped their life of horrors and found their forever home here at Walking Wild. These two special boys have come so far. They defied the odds and have been living a life of love, respect and fun. I sometimes wonder if they remember where they came from, I hope they don’t and that they only remember the last six years of freedom. It is hard to believe that Buzz is now a senior and estimated to be Nine years old and Woody is seven. These two best friends have inspired and motivated me for six years and I pray they will continue to do so for six plus more! We love you Buzz and Woody!
