Now, a CHP officer is responsible for saving an injured fox.

The officer was on patrol on Barnes Road Monday when the injured fox was spotted. The small creature had been hit by a car.

Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue responded to the scene and took in the fox, who’s being nursed back to health. The goal is to release the fox back into the wild.

The organization is seeking volunteers at their facility in Petaluma, along with donations to help the fox and other rescued birds and animals.

Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue helps 1,500 birds and mammals each year.

If you find an injured animal, phone the hotline: (707) 526-WILD(9453).
