There are times in life when unexpected challenges arise, and we have no choice but to face them head-on. That’s exactly what happened to Jenny Adleman, who lives in San Francisco, California. For some time, she had been used to seeing a family of foxes that had made a home under her backyard deck. She often spotted the gray mother fox and her playful babies, but one day she noticed something was off with one of the pups.

The young fox had likely been rummaging through the neighborhood’s trash and ended up in a bad situation — its head was stuck inside a glass peanut butter jar. Jenny realized that the fox wouldn’t survive much longer without help. It couldn’t eat or drink, and she knew time was running out. However, each time she tried to get close enough to pull the jar off, the little fox was too quick, darting away and slipping back under the deck.

“He was just too fast,” Jenny shared in a short video documenting her efforts to save the animal.

Determined not to give up, she tried everything she could think of—humane traps, blankets, even attempting to grab him by hand over the course of three days. But nothing seemed to work. Finally, Jenny decided to borrow a net, and to her relief, it worked!

She managed to catch the young fox in the net and placed him in a cage where he could relax. Jenny gave the fox food and water and let him rest for about six hours. When she saw the mother fox nearby, she knew it was time to release him. Watching the little fox run off to rejoin his family in the nearby woods brought Jenny a sense of satisfaction.

Wanting to raise awareness, Jenny shared the video of the rescue online, hoping to remind people of the importance of properly disposing of trash to avoid harming animals. “Please remember to put the lid back on jars before throwing them in the trash,” she urged in her post. “Watch the entire ordeal in my story highlights. This reel doesn’t fully capture the day-by-day drama.”

Sadly, this seems to have been a disturbing pattern that must be addressed. To protect future animals and provide him with the support he needs, he must be banned from ever owning animals again and undergo mandatory counseling.

It’s wonderful that Jenny was able to save the young fox from such a dire situation. Her experience serves as an important reminder that something as simple as taking care of our garbage can make a big difference for wildlife.
