With eight rescue dogs of her own, it’s no secret Miranda Lambert has a soft spot in her heart for fury, four-legged friends.
That’s why in 2009, Miranda and her mom, Bev, started the MuttNation Foundation, an organization with the mission of ending animal suffering and homelessness on every front. The foundation has successfully raised millions of dollars to aid organizations, government institutions and entities that build animal shelters for better care and increased pet adoption.
Miranda’s latest venture to nurture her love of music and mutts involves collecting dog food, treats, supplies and cash at the entrance of each venue on her upcoming 24-city Livin’ Like Hippies Tour. Concertgoers can drop off their donations—which will support local dog shelters in each area—at the “Fill the Little Red Wagon” activation located at the entrance of each venue before the show and sign up for a chance to win a meet and greet with Miranda.
“I always try to combine my two passions, which are music and mutts,” says Miranda. “I’ve gotten to meet some amazing people that run shelters in the communities where we perform, and I always love connecting with other dog-loving fans.”
