He’s very social, but none of the other foxes like him. He comes on a little strong when he meets new people. He gets way up in their face and wags his tail,” Baird explained. The sanctuary needed to think of new ideas.

We usually keep the dogs separate from the wildlife,” Baird explained, “but we thought maybe it would be a good idea to introduce him to the dogs.” The sanctuary never expected the reaction that they observed!

It was puppy love at first sight,” Baird said. The two had a great connection with the fence keeping them apart. The sanctuary then decided that they wanted to test out the two mingling without the fence.

5. Excited

Soul was so excited – wagging his tail and jumping at the bars – that we decided to let them meet in person,” Baird said. The two got along immediately. It was obviously going to be a great connection.
