"I am so disgusted with Animal Control. We have, since that time, seen several foxes in the neighborhood, and "I say remove the rabbits (food source) and the fox... I'm seeing the same problem in my Farm neighborhood.

Yes, you have it right. I've been putting heavy concrete interlocking bricks around the perimeter of my fence so the rabbits will have a very hard time getting into the yard. The foxes will, too (although they can easily climb fences if they have a reason to do so).

I've been searching websites for fox repellent, and they don't make such a thing. However, I did find repellent for raccoons, skunks, rabbits, etc.
Personally, I'm toying with the idea of buying a crossbow. Like you, my experience with the fox attacking my dog changed my life.

A raccoon killed the neighbor dog and he was a large dog. My husband thinks they are cute and harmless. Yea, they are cute but they can be dangerous.
We had quite a few running around our other home and usually they were pretty mellow, but when the female had babies, she would growl at just the sight of me.

I don't mind wildlife either... I saw a fox here many years ago, they aren't as common as coyotes in this area.
If we didn't have coyotes, we'd have more rats, mice and rabbits. Foxes serve the same function, we just have to try to protect our own and not expect the world to be free of such risks. I don't think they are cute little pets we should never defend against, but I wouldn't want to live where there was no wildlife left either... everything in balance :~)

Yikes! Possums have a mouth full of sharp nasty teeth! My dogs used to chase them when we lived near Dallas, and one time they cornered one. I was there and made them stop, but that darned thing looked like a tasmanian devil with all those teeth!

I didn't see anything but its very large back, since its front was wrapped around Salty's head. It was huge and furry and scary!

Hawks as well. The ex and I used to have a field right next to our house where a pair of hawks would hunt on a twice daily basis. As soon as we saw them, we would get our Yorkies inside pronto.

we too had a couple of Yorkies who are notorious for showing no fear.Yorkies are notorious for barking checks their bites can't cash.
