Mikayla Raines, founder of Save a Fox Rescue and beloved YouTuber, tragically passed away in June 2025, leaving a deep void in the animal rescue world. Her husband, Ethan, shared the news in a heartfelt video, revealing her long battle with depression and borderline personality disorder, worsened by years of online harassment.

Despite her pain, Mikayla remained fiercely devoted to rescuing animals, starting her mission at age 15 and eventually saving hundreds — including shutting down a fur farm with over 500 animals. Her passion, compassion, and legacy continue to inspire countless lives she touched, both human and animal.
