Nicole was first introduced to foxes in 2018 while volunteering at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Animal Farm in Key West, Florida.
She quickly realized there was a need for facilities that are able to house foxes saved from the fur trade and founded Pawsitive Beginnings Inc in March of 2020.
Here at Pawsitive Beginnings, our mission is to provide a safe and permanent home to foxes that have been saved from the fur trade.
We offer crucial animal-assisted therapy to at-risk youth and adults experiencing intense trauma.
And we impact change through compassion by educating the public on fur farming, and how, as individuals, we can help make fur history.

For the second year in a row, Reef the Fox took home the title of Best Local Celebrity in the Upper Keys on November 11, 2023 at the "Best of the Upper Keys" awards ceremony hosted by The Weekly Newspapers.
Placing an animal in a human category, and then, naming Reef the winner in that category means that you see Reef as an individual. You see Reef as a being worthy of love, respect and life.
This award is not just for Reef, but for 100 million fur-bearing animals that are senselessly and violently killed every year in the name of fashion.
We collaborated with VEGAN FTA to bring this four-part mini series.
