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).

Can you feel this red-tailed hawk staring into your soul? Because we definitely can!
Our critical care room is quickly filling up with raptors injured in vehicle collisions. Head trauma, fractures, eye injuries, and internal damage are abundant. Most of these patients are owls, which is expected this time of year. As daylight hours shorten and rush hour traffic aligns with their active periods, collisions increase for crepuscular and nocturnal animals like owls and deer.
This is a challenging season for our wildlife. Collisions happen so quickly they are hard to prevent, but you can help reduce the risk by driving slower and staying alert, especially on backroads. We want both humans and wildlife to stay safe!
I will help spread the word about this. Explaining the time of year. This is good information for people. Thank you.
