Wildlife rehabilitator Geoff Grewcock with Sweep, the rescued fox – SWNSA 74-year-old man has built an incredibly friendly relationship with a fox he rescued—now she wants to cuddle with him every day.
The cub was brought into the Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary seven years ago in a very ill state.
Geoff Grewcock believes she was poisoned and spent the next year nursing her back to health, after naming her Sweep.
Unfortunately, as a result, she imprinted on him and was unable to be returned to the wild. So now Sweep spends her life with a variety of wildlife that are being rehabilitated at the sanctuary.
“Sweep is such a lovely, friendly fox,” said Geoff, the owner of the center in Nuneaton, England.
“Most people can give her a stroke, but she is definitely closest with me and insists on us having a hug every day. (Watch the video below…)
“I think it’s her way of saying thank you for all the looking-after we do for her.”

“When we first got her, we didn’t think there was much hope. She was so lethargic and ill that I had to bottle-feed her for months, and was up at night injecting Sweep with saline.
“Luckily, after medication and some good TLC, she pulled through and here she is seven years later.”

“Sweep is just totally in love with Geoff,” said the 30-year-old. “The pair were hugging for about 10 minutes when I was there.

“It was so sweet to see a fox so up-close, which is rare considering they’re not meant to be pets.”
