This was such a fantastic experience!…read more My husband is a fox lover and I wanted to find a place where we could interact with them while contributing to a worthwhile organization. After doing some research, I was so excited to find Fox Tales Sanctuary, located only 2 hours away from Orlando. You can book a visitation by emailing Robyn directly and everything after that is super easy. Tours are available on Monday-Wednesday, and every other Saturday. Saturday bookings can fill up fast and sometimes you might get paired with other visitors. On our day, we were paired with another couple. The tour was amazing! Robyn was a wonderful guide and advocate for the foxes and provides a wonderful life for them. It's recommended to bring your own eggs (as many as you want) as the foxes love eggs and will take them from you to hide away and bury. The important thing to note is that this is a not a petting zoo and is more of an educational tour where you get the opportunity to interact with foxes on their terms. Some foxes are more curious and will come to you for eggs, but some might avoid you and be unwilling to approach at all. Either way, it was such a thrill to see such adorable foxes in such close proximity. Most of the foxes are either rescued from fox fur farms or were surrendered by owners who couldn't properly care for their foxes; it was stressed to us that these foxes (even the ones purchased as pets) are not fully domesticated and require a lot of specialized care to accommodate their natural instincts and behaviors. However, due to their experience with, exposure to, and dependence on humans prior to coming to the sanctuary, these foxes can't survive in the wild, so Fox Tales steps in to provide a quality life for these animals. They only have one actual wild fox, Johnny, that was taken from his mother by humans and was found to be unable to adapt back to the wild. He's a very handsome fella and serves officially as an Ambassador Fox for Florida Fish & Wildlife as what NOT to do when encountering a wild fox. On the actual tour, we visited 3 different fox runs where we sat and let the foxes approach us at their comfort level (eggs were a great motivator here). We also saw the foxes that are not as visitor-familiar in their enclosures and didn't interact as openly with them, but were able to give them eggs and treats. The tour lasted about 2 hours. In addition to the fox runs and habitats, they have a gift shop and outhouse available for visitors. The gift shop had so many cute souvenirs and a sink to wash your hands before leaving. The outhouse was very clean and had a camping toilet/port-a-potty, as well as another sink. This was one of the best animal experiences I've ever had and I highly recommend supporting Fox Tales. The price for the tour was super reasonable at $25pp. They have tons of other ways you can support the foxes through volunteering, donations, and more. Pro-Tips: Close-toed shoes and long pants are recommended. Leave bags in the car or attached to your body as foxes may steal or pee on stuff they want to claim. Cash is preferred, but they also accept Venmo, Zelle, and CashApp.

Mike and Julie (welcomed them to the area about a year ago, nice young family and dedicated to the Lord's service (per Salvation Army's motto of servanthood, see website for exact beliefs). If you aren't familiar with the way SA runs, they combine biblical teachings with an emphasis on helping "the least of them," per Matthew 25:40. This is my paraphrase, I'm sure http://www.salvationarmy.com will have a clearer picture in their own words. I volunteered for them in another state when I was a social work student, and I found them to be particularly helpful in relation to helping families who have suffered fire or other devastating disaster or (verifiable, documented) loss. On to the Brooksville local: Not easy to find at first unless you are looking for the red sign and know your way around Brooksville and Cortez/50/Wiscon Road area. It's nestled off of the Cortez Highway in a more semi-rural area just as you come into Brooksville, from Sp Hill, or, if you are coming from Brooksville downtown or by Wal-Mart, just take Cortez or Wiscon like you are headed to Spring Hill. Look for the red sign with white lettering (see: figure one), and I will also enclose a map. First time I tried to find it at the suggestion of a friend I ended up a little lost, but that was only because my gps at the time had its own mind. I've been to a Sunday afternoon service, two "home week" (once per month ladies meetings with potluck food, fellowship and a little prayer and verse), and I am very impressed with how kind and biblical these folks are. The first week I visited a year ago, I was a bit reticent to try somewhere new. Once I found it, I was put immediately at ease and made to feel part of the "family" and my friend, Andrea, was adept at explaining to me the "rankings" of the different positions and uniforms, and I couldn't tell you today what they all were, but suffice it to say I learned more
