Not having been able to find any 3.5 stats on foxes I did a conversion based closely on the 2001 D20 System special for Dragon Magazine. Added and tweaked a few things here and their but I figure it might be usable.

I tend to right my Stat writes ups slightly different than the standard writeups from Wizard but there shouldn't be any trouble.

Red foxes are a common sight in many a forest or foothill in most parts of the world. They resemble lithely built canines with agile bodies and sharp facial features. In many rural areas, foxes have taken to stealing chickens and other small livestock from farms by utilizing a seemingly inate ability to avoid traps and dangers of such hunting.

COMBAT
Healthy fox usually only attack humanoids as a last resort, tending to instead run away from danger at a moment's notice. If forced into confrontation then they will usually bite once or twice before trying to flee.
Sly Animal (Ex): Foxes, as exceptionally crafty animals, have a number of bonus skill points per level equal to their wisdom bonus. Note that this does count towards the quadruple skill points for their first HD

Skills: *Foxes have a +4 racial bonus on survival checks when tracking by scent

Feats:

The stats here are fine, I used weasel stats with some altering.
I discussed the benefit a master should get from the fox here. In the end I came up with the benefit of +1 to illusions spells' DC. It seemed fine enough and appropriate. You might want to use that.

Look, there´s a small text on every entry saying "the stats here may also describe etc. etc.". Look for the fox there, not on the big blue letters.
