Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation and Tractor Supply Company have teamed up for the third consecutive year to donate $250k+ to animal shelters across the nation.

Through MuttNation’s Mutts Across America program, one shelter or foster-based rescue in every state—plus Washington, D.C. and a “Wildcard” pick—will receive a $5k. Since the initiative began nine years ago, it has supported 450+ shelters with $1.75m+ in grants.

“Finding deserving shelters and rescue groups across the country is easy,” said Bev Lambert, Miranda’s mother and co-founder of MuttNation. “We’re so proud to partner with Tractor Supply on this and other programs, allowing us to elevate our goals and increase the number of animals’ lives we can change,” added Miranda.

"Miranda’s passion for this cause and the work she has done through MuttNation truly inspire us and supporting their work is a privilege and joy,” said Kimberley Gardiner, chief marketing officer at Tractor Supply.

This year, MuttNation and Tractor Supply also started the Relief for Rescues Fund to help shelters and shelter pets recover from natural disasters. To date, the fund has generated over $357k to support shelter animals affected.
