Miranda Lambert’s Mutt Nation: This is dog country!

We take a look behind the music at Miranda Lambert’s other passion: rescuing, fostering and ensuring that pooches paws are kept looking prim across America. 

Miranda Lambert, a celebrated name in country music, has built an impressive career based on her passion for storytelling and her commitment to her fans. However, beyond her chart-topping hits and captivating performances, she has a deep love for animals, which led her to create the MuttNation Foundation in 2009. The foundation’s mission is simple yet powerful: to rescue, rehome, and improve the lives of homeless animals. Since its inception, MuttNation has made a remarkable impact on animal welfare by working tirelessly to reduce the number of abandoned pets and promote the importance of adopting from shelters rather than purchasing from breeders. Through this foundation, Miranda has found a way to channel her fame into a cause close to her heart, ensuring that animals in need are not forgotten. Her efforts have been monumental in advocating for animal rights and welfare, and MuttNation’s success speaks to the profound influence of celebrity-driven activism when it is rooted in genuine passion. The charity’s work spans a wide array of initiatives, including funding shelters, providing medical care for animals, and promoting the message that adoption is the best choice for those looking to add a pet to their family. As the foundation grows, its reach extends across the United States, benefiting shelters, rescue groups, and pets who might otherwise be overlooked. Miranda Lambert’s commitment to MuttNation has resulted in countless lives being saved and transformed, both for the animals and their new families.

Mutts Across America and Disaster Relief

At the core of MuttNation’s operations is the Mutts Across America programme, which stands as one of the foundation’s most important initiatives. Through this programme, MuttNation honours shelters and foster-based rescues across the country with a surprise $5,000 grant. Each year, MuttNation recognises one shelter in every state, Washington D.C., and a “Wildcard” shelter, helping to ensure that no corner of the country is overlooked. This programme highlights the incredible work of these organisations and provides them with vital funds to continue their life-saving efforts. In collaboration with Tractor Supply Company, a company that shares MuttNation’s passion for animal welfare, Mutts Across America has awarded over $2 million in grants since its inception. With these funds, MuttNation has been able to support more than 500 shelters, particularly those that work with the most difficult-to-adopt pets. These include senior dogs, large dogs, dogs with special needs, and pit mixes – often referred to as the “Love Harder” dogs. These animals are frequently the last to be adopted, despite their loving nature, and MuttNation’s commitment to supporting them helps to highlight their value as companions…
