🦝 To the boy who gifted me this for Valentine’s Day when we were in high school: I can’t remember who you are, sorry, but hey - even though WE were not meant to be, Savvy the raccoon eventually receiving this pillow clearly WAS meant to be. She says “thank you”. #wildlife #rescue #raccoon #throwback #gift #animals #nonprofit

The screms, the 💩 from the air - she’s the weirdest fox to exist. Love her. #wildlife #rescue #fox #chaos #funny #behavior #whatdoesthefoxsay #animals #nonprofit #fyp

A glimpse at “yard time” + an unexpected potential friendship 😍🦊 #wildlife #rescue #fox #animals #behavior #surprise #nonprofit #fyp

Replying to @$1CK #SocialMedia, a double-edged sword indeed. After reading the variety of comments on that video out loud to Lulu, she said, “DANG, can’t an old lady just get some REM without everyone thinking she was halfway to Heaven?!” 😆 For real though, every time we have a video “go viral”, it comes with the cost of a wild comment section. It’s because our content is reaching a new audience, as opposed to reaching our usual supporters. Don’t get me wrong, these online platforms are an absolute blessing - you guys know that I frequently refer to you all as our “social media family”. It’s incredible that our nonprofit is essentially fully funded through “online exhibition” on social media. Unfortunately, people have the ability to scroll upon random videos without having any prior context about the characters in said videos, and they don’t usually take the extra minute to scope out the creator’s profile before commenting or making a judgement. Thus, we get a LOT of negative comments on any of our videos that get millions of views. It’s not our usual positive, upbeat comment section that is created by our lovely group of fans. And quite honestly - playing devil’s advocate here - I could see why some videos could be questionable if you had NO idea what I do here. For example, I agree that it’s sad to see wild animals “in cages”. So if you stumbled upon one random video of me in an enclosure with a fox, without knowing I run a sanctuary, I could understand why a non-follower would comment something like, “Why does she have that poor fox locked in a cage?! She should let it go!” Being able to step back and attempt to understand the POV of negative commenters makes dealing with them way easier. (It does also help that my followers often reply to sassy comments before I even see them - I notice that, guys. 🫶🏼😉) Granted… I’m human, so there are still occasional comments that make me roll my eyes and think, “Couldn’t they take two seconds to look at my profile? Why doesn’t common sense exist anymore?” 😂 The plus side? Comments are fantastic for the algorithm. Which means they benefit our rescue, regardless of the context. 👏🏼 #wildlife #rescue #fox #animals #reality

Why didn’t I choose to base my rescue out of the Caribbean? #ifyouknowyouknow #winter #animals #farmchores #rescue

How most families spend quality time together, right? 🦊 #wildlife #rescue #sanctuary #nonprofit #chicken #animals #fox #wolf

As a very niche “creator”, a ban would be a huge bummer. My account’s often full of cute and entertaining animal videos (hey, they make the best #viralvideo content), but there’s also a ton of educating and fundraising that happens here. I’ve had to learn the balance between being a “fun creator” while simultaneously utilizing platforms to share my nonprofit’s mission. Hopefully this doesn’t go through, but if it does, you know where you can find me, and thank you for a great few years here, friends. 🫶🏼 #wildlife #rescue #animals #creator #tiktokban

Replying to @Amber She’s less pillow pet-ish in this video, eh? 😂

The foxes all waiting patiently while I was blabbing to you guys 🍗 😂

🥺 Intake 2025-02 was the only baby found after Mom was hit by a car. I’m committed to giving him a second chance at life, as I am to many orphans who find their way here each spring. An important part of giving orphans like Clifford a healthy start at life in a rehab setting is minimizing human interaction, because the goal of #wildliferehab is always to return these animals to the wild (even if it takes a lot of self control with an animal as cute as a baby fox 😅).

Wolves further prove that communication is key to healthy relationships 😉. #wolfdog #wildlife #rescue #animals

Happy 🥧 day! The first Fox Barn update of ‘25 🥳 (I truly did film this ON pie day - the timing of Albert’s pie drop-off was phenomenal. Can we all please just pretend I successfully posted this a few days ago, instead of the day after St. Patty’s day? 😅) Thank you so much if you can give to this project - I know this economy makes it really tough to be able to give for a lot of folks, so know that we are grateful for absolutely every penny contributed to our nonprofit. We need to continue to bring in donations more than ever now that we are really going to be able to get going with this project! 🙏🏼 ##wildlife##rescue##fox##wolf##wolfdog##project
