NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CelebrityAccess) – For the fourth year in a row, Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation is partnering with retailer Tractor Supply Company to donate more than $250,000 to support animal shelters across the United States.
Additionally, as part of the foundation’s Mutts Across America program, $5,000 grants will be awarded to one shelter or foster rescue in each state (Washington, D.C. and a “wild card” selection).
“Mutts Across America is a great program because it gives us a chance to showcase amazing shelters in every state and show our appreciation for the hard work they do year-round,” Lambert said. “We especially love honoring shelters that care for some of the hardest-to-adopt dogs, and we’re so proud to have such a strong and supportive partner in Tractor Supply who shares our values and goals and helps as many shelter pets as possible live the best lives possible.”
Since Lambert’s mother and MuttNation co-founder Bev Lambert started the initiative 10 years ago, Mutt Nation has supported more than 500 shelters across the United States through more than $2 million in grants.
Tractor Supply has been partnering with Mutt Nation for the past four years, and the two organizations launched the Relief For Rescues Fund in 2023 to help shelters and shelter pets recover from natural disasters. To date, the fund has raised more than $1 million to help shelters recover from emergencies such as floods, fires, tornadoes, and other emergency events.
Tractor Supply is the exclusive retailer of MuttNation pet products, with a percentage of all sales donated to the MuttNation Foundation to promote and support the Foundation’s mission.
Lambert will celebrate MuttNation’s 15th anniversary with a benefit concert at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater on October 5. Full details of the show, including the lineup, will be announced in the coming months, but the event is sponsored by Tractor Supply.
