Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation teamed up with Tractor Supply and donated $255,000 to animal shelters all over the country. The program is called Mutts Across America. One shelter in every state was chosen, plus one “Wildcard” pick, in recognition of her album of the same name. They each received a $5,000 grant, and didn’t find out about it until it was announced. Miranda says, “Mutts Across America is one of my favorite MuttNation programs because it lets us show our appreciation to the people at the shelters who are doing the hard work every day. “And to make it even more special, the grants are always a surprise, there’s no way to apply or be nominated. MuttNation has been partnering with Tractor Supply since 2021. In other Miranda news, she surprised fans at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota by bringing out Gretchen Wilson and Lainey Wilson for a few songs like “Redneck Woman” and “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”.
