Background
In Minecraft Java Edition 1.14 and 1.15, the entity value for a fox is fox. The fox entity has a unique set of NBT tags that can be used in Minecraft commands such as: /summon and /data.
What are NBT tags (formerly called Data Tags)?
NBT tags allow you to set certain properties of an entity (such as fox). The NBT tag is always surrounded in {} such as {Type:red}. If there is more than one NBT tag used in a game command, the NBT tags are separated by a comma such as {Type:red, NoAI:1}.

To summon a snowy fox that is named Scout:

Target Selectors
Before we finish discussing data tags, let's quickly explore how to use the @e target selector. The @e target selector allows you to target entities in your commands. If you use the type=fox value, you can target foxs:
@e[type=fox]
Target Selector Examples
To change the nearest fox to a red fox:
/data merge entity @e[type=fox,limit=1,sort=nearest] {Type:red}
To kill all foxs:
/kill @e[type=fox]
