Bring Home One Of These Fox-Like Dogs, Since Owning a Real Fox Isn't An Option

Foxes are adorable — they have cute pointy noses, fluffy fur that you want to run your fingers through, and they look like they'd make good pets because of how social they are. But, unfortunately, having a fox as a pet is illegal in a majority of U.S. states and they’re too wild to domesticate. So, why not settle for a dog that looks like a fox? Not only are you going to get all the physical characteristics of a fox, but with you'll also get the loyalty of a dog.

Dogs that look like foxes come in a variety of sizes and colors. You can get a smaller breed, like a Long-Haired Chihuahua or a Volpino Italiano, or a bigger one, like an Akita Inu or Norwegian Elkhound. And because they're so closely related to foxes, these dog breeds are playful, protective of their family, wary of strangers, and love spending time outdoors.

So before you try to figure out how to domesticate a fox, opt to adopt one of these dogs that look like foxes.
