🚨🦊 WALDEN’S PUDDLE IS ON THE LOOKOUT! 🦅🐢🌿
We have an important need at the Puddle—and we’re hoping our amazing community can help us spread the word! 🤎💚
We are looking for a dependable, large SUV to use as a wildlife transport vehicle. 🚙🐾
Our transport vehicle helps us get injured, orphaned, and rehabilitating wildlife where they need to go safely. From picking up wildlife in need to transporting patients to veterinary appointments, every mile helps us give Tennessee’s native wildlife a second chance. 🦉🦊🦝
We’re looking for a vehicle that is:
🚙 A large SUV- Must have plenty of cargo space
🔧 Dependable and mechanically sound
🌿 In decent overall condition
💚 Available at a very low cost or, ideally, donated
Could you—or someone you know—help? A donated vehicle may also provide a potential tax deduction for the donor. Please consult your tax professional for details regarding your individual situation.
If you have a vehicle that might be a good fit, or know someone who does, please send us a message or share this post! 📩
Sometimes helping wildlife doesn’t look like holding a baby squirrel or caring for an injured bird. Sometimes it looks like four wheels, a full tank of gas, and a community willing to help. 🥹🤎💚
Help us get our wildlife where they need to go! 🐾🚙🌿
