Howdy yall, Russell here. Hope you all are having a good week!
This week is a bit of a shorter dump but I liked these enough to post them. I also have an announcement.
I will be taking a break from the Wednesday photography practice posts for a few weeks. I have something that will be eating up a lot of my time for the foreseeable ...
Though he can be a bit of a butthead at times, Apollo definitely seems to love when the jackal pups are out to play.

Howdy yall, Russell here. Finally got my first full photo session in this weekend after a few weeks of partial/rushed photos.
This week Jade let me get super close while I had my DSLR out. The absolute closest I have ever gotten to him. And as a result I got some amazing photos of him!
Have a good week everyone!
I don’t know about all of you, but I would definitely not say no to sleeping as relaxedly and as cozily as our sweet Tilty Girl 🥰

Luna is our newest rescue kitty at SAF South.
Every since we took in our first cats here at SAF South and found out most were FIV positive. We've decided since then, saveafox south cats will be particularly for special needs cats and sick cats.
Last night I slept out on the porch with Luna on my belly for four hours. That is where she sta...
This time I ran out of daylight unfortunately before I could get more than a few good photos. I hope you guys enjoy them anyway!
I got some one-on-one time with Pan after I put all the other foxes away for the night. I love how sweet and precious Pan looks. He always looks like he's smiling gently at you.

He knows his medicine is in there. And he doesn't want it. 😂

A few weeks ago we made a post about Mufasa and how he might need a hind leg amputation due to how severely his leg was broken. Today we wanted to post an update that unfortunately, that was the case. We had been trying splints and everything else to help heal the poor boys leg but sadly nothing worked. His leg was so damaged that if we did not ...

Howdy yall, Russ here.
Only got a few very rushed photos this week as I got rained out.
Still figured you guys would appreciate them. I especially love that one of Floofala.
Have a good week everyone!
I always love to highlight Firefly cause I truly believe she is the most beautiful fox at SAF.
Are there any foxes you would like to see highlighted more?

This week:
*Fox pup and Netflix ~ He got adopted!
*What's going on in the mink room? 😯 Upgrades for them :)
*Our second transport van is ready!
*Scouting some new land
*Atlas had some blood work done and we had a big scare. He started shaking and vomiting. Heart rate dropped dramatically. I thought we were going to lose him. B...
Howdy folks, Russ here.
I can't believe I'm already on #10. I've been getting a lot of practice in lately and having fun with it. I'm really trying to get better with focus, positioning the subject of the photo, and using naturally existing props. I think these photos encapsulate that pretty well.
This week I decided to try somethi...
I absolutely love these sweet little guys but they make it incredibly difficult to work. I can't just get up and move when I've been claimed after all.

Just a few updates from us down in swampland!
Luna cat has settled in very well! She’s eating well and requesting lots of snuggle time from us. We have helped relieve her of her pain temporarily with meds and are hoping to get her problem teeth extracted soon.
Momo was unfortunately not welcomed back to his family with...

Hey everyone! Russ here, Sorry for the delay.
I had a minor issue with my car flooding last night so I wasn't able to post.
Not too many photos this week but I think these are some of my best yet.
Have a good week everyone!
These little guys are absolutely adorable but they have a tendency to latch on or demand cuddles. Which can make trying to clean their cages out very difficult.

Today being so hot we wanted to introduce the Black Backed Jackals to a pool to help them cool off. This was their first little bit with it, they all did step into it eventually and one even peed in the pool!

I’d like to introduce you to our new cat surrender, Luna! She is about seven years old and was diagnosed with FIV last year. She had stopped eating, lost weight and was showing signs of discomfort within her mouth. After taking her to our vet we discovered some great news and some bad news. The great news is that she is actually FIV negative (...

Howdy, Russ here.
This was going to be photography practice 9 but I had some issues with my camera and these were the only usable photos from this week.
Hopefully got the issue fixed. Have a good week everyone!
Today the jackal pups got some play time outside and one of them was very curious about Stevie.
Stevie, however, was not as enthused.
Howdy, Russ here.
I got rained out last week so I wasn't able to take any photos. Sorry about that.
I got a physical filter set for my camera and played around with that a bit this weekend. I think my next purchase will be a better lens. I would love a 600mm.
These photos are all original with no filters or processing this w...
I have made an important discovery.
If Stella shows you her belly, she wants to play.
I spent like 5 minutes playing with her like this yesterday 😅

The Florida kids celebrated three recent birthdays. Silky turned two, Decatur turned three and Dimika turned five! All received new toys and treats. All were not thrilled with their photo shoots lol

I got to meet this handsome fella yesterday and despite being in such rough shape, he really is a sweet and gentle fox!

Hey everyone! Kaytee here with a new fox we had surrendered today in Minnesota!
This handsome young man was found roaming around a small town up north and was brought to a wildlife rehabilitation center. While they noticed due to his champagne color he wasn't a wild fox, they still helped treat him immediately.
We're not sure what ...

Howdy everyone, Russ here!
So sorry for the late post, I had an early doctors appointment today.
I decided to try some more edits. I'm actually quite proud of this set. I got some filters and new lenses so I'm excited for this weekend!
Also enjoy a bonus photo that my computer somehow messed up the processing on.
Ha...
Jack jack is currently blowing out his coat! His whole tail is coming off in one long piece. Sadly he did not get to keep the extra long tail for long. Sophie was jealous and took it off of him right away. 😂
2024-04-23 18:21:12 +0000 UTC View PostShe gets so excited to see Stevie (and me to a lesser extent) that she can't contain it! Isn't she just precious?
