Mikayla Raines, the founder of Save a Fox, has died, leaving the animal rescue community in deep sorrow. Her husband, Ethan, announced her passing in an emotional video, calling it “the most painful time” of his life.
Mikayla, who struggled with depression and borderline personality disorder, faced years of cruel online attacks but never stopped rescuing animals. Ethan shared, “She couldn’t bear it any longer… She ended her life. It breaks my heart someone so selfless suffered so much negativity.”
Her journey began at 15 when she met her first fox. She later quit college to save fur farm foxes, giving them loving homes. Fans praised her bravery and dedication, calling her a hero to animals worldwide.
Mikayla’s young daughter, Freya, learned from her mom how to treat wildlife with care and respect. Though she is gone, Mikayla’s legacy lives on through Save a Fox, the animals she saved, and the kindness she inspired in so many people.
