BRENTWOOD, TN (CelebrityAccess) – Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation and Tractor Supply Company have teamed up to donate more than $250,000 to animal shelters across the U.S. Through Lambert’s Mutts Across America program, the organizations issued a surprise $5,000 donation to one shelter or foster-based rescue in each state, including Washington DC, as well as a “Wildcard” pick.
“With over 14,000 shelters and rescue groups in the US, and so many deserving of support, selecting just one in each state is always the biggest challenge,” said Bev Lambert, Lambert’s mother and co-founder of MuttNation, who conceived Mutts Across America eight years ago.
“Mutts Across America was MuttNation’s very first signature program. It lets us recognize the great work done by so many dedicated people helping shelter pets across the country,” added Lambert.
MuttNation conducts countless hours of research before selecting the winning nonprofits. Organizations do not apply to participate and receive no advance notice of the award.
In addition to the Mutts Across America partnership, Tractor Supply is the exclusive retailer of MuttNation pet products and On The Farm pet food and treats. A percentage of all sales goes to the MuttNation Foundation to further support its mission to promote and facilitate the adoption of shelter pets.
