Animal Rescue
These foxes were among the animals that were recently rescued in San Juan del Sur. Other animals included ducks, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, pacas and pisotes. Often times young animals are captured (at the expense of the mother) and raised as pets. When the owners cannot care for them, they are taken in by Stone & Waves Veterinary Clinic and Wildlife Center. The animals are evaluated and determined whether they can be reintroduced into the wild. Many animals have been treated and released by the center. Unfortunately for these foxes they cannot be released because they lack hunting skills and have no fear of humans. One of the goals of Stones & Waves Veterinary Clinic and Wildlife Center is to teach wildlife conservation to the community at large.
