Calypso

In early 2025, a horrifying scene was discovered at a “fur farm” in Ashtabula County, Ohio. Foxes, raccoons, wolf-dog hybrids, skunks, opossums and coyotes were living in wire-bottom cages with little to no protection from frigid winters and sweltering summers. Some of the animals had missing toes, ears, tails and limbs. The animals were being slaughtered for fur, were bred for sale as exotic pets, and were held captive for urine farming.

In partnership with Humane World for Animals, Black Pine brought the remaining rescued foxes back to the sanctuary for permanent refuge, including Calypso.

Calypso is a prolific digger, which is a normal behavior for foxes. She has dug tunnels over 5 feet long inside their habitat! She prefers to spend her time underground, keeping cool out of sight.
