According to DEFRA, for the canines of the following genera, you do not need any kind of license to own one as a pet in the UK

Alopex - Arctic fox,

Cerdocyon - Crab-Eating Fox,

Otocyon - Bat-Eared Fox,

Psuedolopex - Argentine Grey Fox,

Urocyon - Island Fox,

Vulpes - Red Fox.

You would therefore need a license for species like the Kit Fox, or the Fennec.

Many places have restrictions on keeping wild animals as pets. You should contact your administrative region (state/province/whatever) department of wildlife (which might be called something like "department of fish and game" instead) and ask them.
