Delighted staff wrote after his release: “Three months and 17 days. That’s how long it took for this young fox to be given a second chance back in the wild.
“When we first saw this boy, he was stuck to the road and covered in bitumen. It’s taken countless washes and a very complex surgery to get him back on his feet, but his final leap to freedom makes every single second worth it.”
They described his recovery as “amazing” and thanked the many people who had shared his story and donated to the charity.
“Tar fox is finally free,” they added.
“The end of an era… good luck little fox – keep out of trouble.”
