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.

The critters here worked hard to find a way to communicate a very important message to the humans: go vote!
Trick-or-treat? For our non-releaseable ambassador Purdy, it's always treat. Purple grapes to be exact. Not green. Only purple. For us humans, it's a "trick" we're able to use to be sure Purdy is as comfortable as possible when it's time for her health checkup with our veterinarian. Even awkward procedures like getting an ultrasound become no problem when she's being handed a steady supply of grapes.
Happy Halloween to all and yes, Purdy our Purple Grape Princess will be getting all the treats today!
I'm with Purdy, the purple grapes are better 😁
My dog doesn’t even get ultrasounds at yearly! I need to see that vet!
So cute! I hope Purdy is okay! Can I ask what the ultrasound was for?
Love the toe spread!!
What a Sweet Girl she is 💗
It’s weird seeing fear free with a raccoon
