Pet Fox!
Not necessarily as easily…a regular red fox can’t just be raised in a regular family and not tend to act like a wild animal.
The only foxes that can be domesticated are a special breed of silver fox.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox
This specific breed was a result of a Russian experiment on selective breeding, where only the most tame foxes in each litter were allowed to reproduce. To the surprise of the scientists, the resultant foxes actually started to develop certain traits of modern dogs, such as barking and whining.
The Russian scientists realized that they could sell these. So they did. You can buy one if you like.
