Galileo is an arctic marble fox who was rescued by CLAWS in North Carolina. He arrived at the rescue in horrible condition - starving, dirty and scared. They took him in and began to nurse him back to health. While he was recovering, he befriended a Pomeranian named Mushu, who helped him overcome his fears.
Arctic marble foxes are not found in the wild. They were genetically bred by people and are sold for profit (fur and exotic pets). As beautiful as they are, foxes do not make good house pets!
Galileo has since recovered from his ordeal and has made other dog friends at the rescue. He is now an ambassador/educator with CLAWS*.
