A Florida resident discovered an unexpected visitor in serious trouble after a red fox became tightly tangled in netting on the property.
The resident contacted animal welfare for help, and two officers responded to free the animal. In a social media post, Escambia County Animal Welfare said the fox had become caught in netting that was no longer being used.
“Working quickly and carefully, they were able to safely free the fox from the net and prevent further injury,” the department said in a Sept. 15 Instagram post.
The Fox Was Taken in For Rehabilitation
