A sick, mangy fox that was nursed back to health after a Chatham resident found the emaciated animal in her backyard has been released back into the wild, officials with a Warren County-based refuge said. The rescue, rehabilitation and eventual release of the animal — identified as an adult male American red fox — was a tri-county effort among Morris, Warren and Mercer counties, officials said.
