ATTENTION: We are located in Joelton,TN., NOT at 2826 Dogwood Lane in Nashville. If you take any sick, injured or orphaned animals to the Nashville address you will be delivering them to a Guitar Shop!! If you truly want to help these animals, call us at 615-559-WILD (9453) and we will gladly direct you to our facility in Joelton, where we will be able to actually help the animal (and fulfill your good intentions).

Walden’s Puddle provides care and treatment to sick, injured and orphaned native Tennessee wildlife. We are a professionally-staffed wildlife  rehabilitation facility in Middle Tennessee. We do not charge for services and receive no federal or state funding at this time. We are here to help wildlife in trouble. If you suspect an animal is orphaned, please observe to make sure its mother is not nearby.

It’s really easy! Here’s how:

  1. Go HERE to choose Walden’s Puddle as your Cause (or one of your Causes)
  2. Use the iGive Button at Over 1,800 Online Stores
