We are officially past the 14 day quarantine from our New York Fox Rescue. Enjoy as Mikayla Raines and her SaveAFox Rescue team join forces with their sanctuary allies and the NY State Police Department to put an end to the hoarding of 28 foxes. point of the video is not to hate, but to educate.
The date of this rescue was March 26th 2020. Not May. Apologize for those who were confused or frustrated by the error. Look forward to the blur comments!

WHAT IS ANIMAL HOARDING?
⚠️Considering we just did a rescue from a bad hoarding situation I thought it would be a good time to make a post about what animal hoarding is, the warning signs, and how to prevent supporting a hoarder disguised as a rescue.
"Animal hoarding is keeping a higher-than-usual number of animals without ability to properly house or care for them, while at the same time denying this inability. Compulsive hoarding can be characterized as a symptom of mental disorder rather than deliberate cruelty towards animals."
Some people that find themselves in a animal hoarding situation didn't intend on it. They may have started a rescue and took on more then they could handle or could afford.
If you can't sometimes say "NO" to taking in a animal in need. The rescue world isn't for you. Yes we have rescued dozens of foxes. But we have sadly also had to turn 100s of animals away. THAT IS THE REALITY OF RUNNING A RESCUE. Space, funds, and staff/volunteers available always needs to be considered.
Before donating to any rescue facility here are a few things to keep in mind:
1.) Are they a nonprofit? Their are a lot of steps for applying to be a nonprofit. Not to mention yearly paperwork that needs to be kept up to date. Being verified as a non-profit is a good sign.
2.) Do they have social media for their rescue?
Although social media can present falsely. There are things you can look for. What do their updates look like and how often do they update?
It is important to pay attention to the animals living conditions and frequentcy of those posts.
Do they make educational posts or posts about their diets?
Do they take pictures and post the animals vet visits? Do they provide enrichment for the animals or show them getting interaction?
3.)Does the rescue show any credentials or certification for the animals they are working with?
4.) Are they open to the public? This is my personal biggest one. If a Rescue is open to the public, it is less likely they have anything to hide. I like to see a rescue in person or have someone I know check a rescue out before they have my full support.
5.) Does the rescue allow volunteers? If not, that is a big red flag. As most rescues could use all the help they can get.
It is easily to be mislead by social media if you don't know what you are looking for.
If you suspect a hoarding situation. Always report it.
