In the charity's own words
Wirral Fox Rescue, formally Pawprints, is Wirral's only dedicated centre for the rescue, rehabilitation and release of foxes. Through a combination of coordinated veterinary services and our excellent in house programme, we aim to nurse our foxes back to health before releasing them into the wild, preferably where they were first found.
