THIS FOX RESCUE is "PAWSITVELY" AWESOME! Apr 09, 2024

Show notes

Nicole Navarro the founder of "Pawsitive Beginnings" a Fox Rescue down in the Florida Keys, joins us to tell us all about her journey to helping these cute animals. Her stories are heartwarming and heart wrenching. When you hear all about the fox fur trade, I think you will be shocked to find there are still fox farms solely for the purpose of their fur.

Even crazier is the fox fur trend is coming back... by some of the biggest fashion companies in the world.

What Nicole is doing and has done, is nothing short of amazing..... and Reef, who is featured on the cover has become a local hero...

This is a must tell story.... for a much needed education.... of a cruel industry... that in my opinion... is not needed...
