Rescuers Track Pennsylvania Fox With Plastic Pipe Around Its Neck

Fresh sightings have the team preparing a humane capture with a wildlife center.

Overview

  • The wild fox has been seen around Broomall in Delaware County since an Oct. 1 backyard camera sighting near a chicken coop.
  • Good Boy Dog Recovery joined the case on Oct. 20 and has set cameras, feeding stations, and traps to lure the animal safely.
  • The nonprofit says the fox, nicknamed Sly, remains within a small radius, with a confirmed sighting on the morning of Oct. 23.
  • Once captured, the plan is to sedate the fox, remove the pipe, and transfer it to the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center for care.
  • Residents are urged not to approach; report photos with exact time, location, and direction of travel via the group’s Facebook or call 484-485-0706.
