We would like to say a very big thank you to Gemma and James of Poole Police Station who,
last night whilst driving back to the Station to finish their shift, saw a fox cub hit by a car.
They then followed it into the garden of a house where it had gone to ground under a shed.
Poole Police Station phoned Helen at the Rescue and asked if she could help.
Gemma and James stayed on to assist Helen for two hours after the end of their shift to help to rescue the fox, who sadly had a broken pelvis and had to be put to sleep.
Although it is unfortunate that the fox was too injured to save nevertheless their prompt action and selfless aid saved the poor fox from a long and painful death.
They said that they couldn’t have possibly have gone home and left the fox where it was, they would have felt guilty for the rest of their lives.
We all really appreciate all the effort that they made !
