Fox shot by bow and arrow in Arvada in stable condition after surgery Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance shares tips for how to peacefully coexist with foxes

A young red fox is on the mend after she was shot near Quay Court in Arvada by someone with a bow and arrow. The culprit of the shooting has not been identified yet, but Arvada Animal Management is investigating the incident. The red fox was shot on June 19 and was found by a Good Samaritan shortly afterward. She was found with an arrow that penetrated through her left shoulder and exited out of the right side of her neck. She was transported to the Rocky Mountain Wildlife Alliance, which performed a successful surgery to remove the arrow from the fox. Emily Davenport, a certified wildlife rehabilitator with the RMWA, said the initial surgery went well, and the organization is monitoring the fox to see what other steps will need to be taken to ensure her full recovery.
