About The Fox Rescuers

The Fox Rescuers | Fox rescue service
The Fox Rescuers is a wildlife rescue based in Stockport which specialises exclusively in foxes. The rescue is run by Paul McDonald and Carol Gowrie who set up the rescue in June 2019 and who, combined, have over 10 years of hands-on experience with foxes. A network of volunteers throughout the North West and West Midlands enables the rescue to deal with an extensive catchment area. We are one of only a very few rescues who specialise in foxes, therefore we are contacted by people from across the UK for help and advice. For those who fall outside our catchment area we can offer advice, homeopathic remedies and details of more local rescues. We have been inspected and approved by our veterinary practice and are also an RSPCA approved rescue which enables us to take referrals from them.
The Fox Rescuers is an animal Charity based in Stockport which specialises exclusively in the rescue, rehabilitation and subsequent release of foxes. The rescue is run by Paul McDonald and Carol Gowrie who set up the rescue in June 2019 and who, combined, have over 12 years of hands-on experience with foxes. We offer an emergency helpline for foxes in need of emergency care who fall within our catchment area of the North West and West Midlands, along with an advice line for those outside of that area. For non-emergencies within our catchment we offer a trapping service for foxes with illnesses and injuries which need treatment and veterinary care. The Fox Unit (hospital) itself is based in a converted outbuilding on a piece of land attached to a residential property and is fitted with all the necessary equipment to house and care for 6 adult foxes at any one time, with some overflow accommodation when necessary.
