We’ve received several messages about a fox at the beaches area. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to get an accurate location for where it’s been spotted, and we’ve been told people have seen it in Ponte Vedra, Neptune, and Atlantic beach. We are working with the local animal control agencies to try and help this fox, so if you see it, do NOT approach it. Call us at 904-779-5569! 🦊
