Mount Juliet, TN501(c)(3)AnimalsEIN 84-5161581

Located in Mt. Juliet, TN, we are here to right the wrongs that we as a society have committed on our animals. As we share this Earth with these amazing creatures, so should we be bound to take care of them. We are here to be their voice, and to provide safe hands, food, and shelter. We will be their soft place to fall, and their strong arm to be lifted back up. By providing a 7,000 sq ft shelter, we are able to safely house cats and kittens in a communal environment, with all dogs and puppies located in foster homes. Our full circle rescue is committed to vetting, housing and adopting out all of our animals. We do respond to natural disasters as well, to aid animals that are displaced or in distressed in disaster-stricken areas.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
