Have done several searches including some of my old anthropology books. While there are a few incidents where a spirit or deity can take fox form and even speak in that form, I haven't found any mention of humans shapeshifting into foxes or the other way around. Some links to follow in sources. Oh and the primary reference to foxes in non-american indian folklore is brer fox from the uncle remus stories. While he was certainly anthropomorphic (a fox with a human outlook) he was still just a fox.
actually eye of mars, one can argue that a caterpillar shapesifts into a butterfly, scientifically speaking of course though the caterpillar is merely the juvenile state of its adult state- the butterfly and it does not shapeshift, it goes through a process called metamorphosis.

No, Foxes only shape shift in eastern Asian and Exlewberianian mythology

What kind of question is that?
No, North American foxes don't shapeshift. Neither do foxes from any other part of the world. Neither do any animal ever anywhere.
I don't think so. Only foxes in east Asian folklore shapeshift.
