An adorable video has emerged of an arctic fox looking very happy after being nursed back to health at a fox sanctuary.

The footage, shot last year at Fox Hollow Fox Sanctuary in Whipple, OH, USA, shows Sugar excitedly barking as her carer visits her.

"Sugar is an arctic fox that was found along the road severely injured and near death from an animal attack," the filmer wrote online.

"She was retrieved by our local humane officer and after a visit to the veterinarian for her injuries she was brought to us for her continued care,"

"After many months of health scares and care she is now living a happy healthy life at Fox Hollow Fox Sanctuary in Whipple, Ohio", they added.
