Finn the Fox was in rough shape when he was first found. A security guard was working his shift when he noticed the fox cub dragging his weak body in a ditch.
Muhammed, the kind security guard that found Finn, gave the little fox some food while they waited for help to arrive. The wildlife rescuers he called responded right away.
When they arrived to the scene, Finn was extremely weak from exhaustion. No one was sure how extensive his injuries were, but it was clear he wanted to be saved.
His rescuers took him home for the night and he happily chowed down on some honey and toast. The next morning, he was taken in for x-rays to see if there was anything that could be done for the poor injured fox cub.

After Finn the Fox was found dragging himself through a ditch, an incredible team effort to rescue him was set into motion.
Although his rescuers were unsure of the extent of his injuries, it was clear that Finn wasn't going to last much longer in the wild on his own.
Peter and Karolina, representatives from the National Fox Welfare Society, were on the scene within half an hour!
"Peter made his way down into the ditch and the little cub just rolled on his back, unable to run away," the rescue team explained on their Facebook page.
After an evening of eating honey on toast and getting some much-needed rest, Finn was brought in for an x-ray.
His hind leg was broken, but incredibly no other abnormalities were found.
The orthopedic specialists gave Finn some pain killers and anti-inflammatories to begin the healing process.
The little fox cub's outlook was looking up!
The adorable fox took quite a liking to his new life, particularly the food!
Chicken drizzled in honey was his meal of choice.
The day finally came when the doctors decided to open him up for surgery to assess the extent of his injuries and see what they could do for the little fox.
It turns out the fracture site was older than they had originally thought.
Although he was wounded, his weak state came from a lack of nutrition.
"It is possible mum could have dumped this little one knowing something was wrong," the rescuers explained.
Finn is now well into the healing process and doing better each day.
Thanks to the compassionate teamwork of everyone involved, Finn is expected to make a great recovery!
