Miranda Lambert's MuttNation Foundation Opens Spay & Neuter Grants to Texas on World Spay Day

In celebration of World Spay Day today, Feb. 27, country music superstar Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation has announced that the It Takes Balls campaign will focus specifically on East Texas, North Texas and the Texas Panhandle this year with plans to open the program to the rest of Lambert’s home state in 2025. The initiative, which kicked off in 2023, raises awareness for the importance of spay & neuter and offers grants to qualifying low-cost programs.

“We were able to help 50 Tennessee clinics with their spay & neuter programs when we launched the program last year. This year, we want to take it to my home state and start in East Texas, where I was raised,” shares Lambert, adding “I think everyone agrees that spay & neuter is the best way to keep pets out of overcrowded shelters and reduce pet homelessness. And, as I’ve said before, sometimes it literally takes balls to do the right thing. Please spay or neuter your pets.” 

Every day, 70,000 puppies and kittens are born in the U.S. and, while beloved for their cuteness, there is nothing cute at all about seeing them in overcrowded shelters. Over 3.5 million dogs and cats are euthanized every year in animal shelters across the country, often due to lack of space. 

MuttNation is inviting low cost spay & neuter programs in East Texas, North Texas and the Texas Panhandle to complete and submit a grant application to help combat this ongoing issue. The application can be found HERE.

Today through January 21st, Tractor Supply customers can donate at checkout at any Tractor Supply store, online at TractorSupply.com or via the Tractor Supply mobile app. The fund provides critical support to shelter pets during times of natural disaster.

“Helping shelters and shelter pets recover from a natural disaster is part of our MuttNation mission,” said Lambert. “And partnering with Tractor Supply stores across the country for our annual Relief For Rescues fundraiser, along with the support from the tens of thousands of animal-loving people who donate to our cause this week, allows us to provide critical assistance immediately – where it’s needed, when it’s needed.”

Funds raised during the 2023 Relief for Rescues event were distributed after the fires in Hawaii; tornadoes in Texas,  Mississippi and Tennessee; and flooding in Ohio, California’s Central Valley and Rhode Island.
 
“We have always focused on supporting our communities in crisis, so when Miranda and the MuttNation team alerted us to the needs of shelter animals during and after natural disasters, we jumped in,” said Kimberley Gardiner, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer at Tractor Supply. “Relief for Rescues provides the means for these pets to be shepherded to safety, especially when shelters are unable to. We are so proud to be a part of this important work and are excited to host another Relief for Rescues fundraising event to generate further support.”

This year’s Relief for Rescues fundraiser will coincide with Tractor Supply’s Pet Appreciation Days, which feature special deals on pet food, treats, toys and accessories, including MuttNation pet products, exclusively available at Tractor Supply. Tractor Supply has introduced several new MuttNation items for 2024, including a Southwest-inspired dog tent with travel bag, a cactus waste bag dispenser with a built-in light, a heavy-duty water-and weather-resistant cement dog bowl and more. A percentage of all MuttNation sales go to the MuttNation Foundation to further support its mission to promote and facilitate adoption of shelter pets.

MuttNation Foundation Announces Miranda Lambert New Shelter Grant

MuttNation Foundation proudly announces the Miranda Lambert New Shelter Grant, in honor of three-time GRAMMY award winner and New York Times best-selling author Miranda Lambert, who co-founded the celebrated nonprofit with her mother, Bev Lambert, in 2009. MuttNation Foundation’s mission is to advance the adoption of shelter pets, promote spay and neuter and assist during times of natural disaster.

The Miranda Lambert New Shelter Grant is awarded in the spirit of giving a “paw” up to an organization that has recently opened after proving they’ve done the hard work necessary to achieve lift-off. The inaugural Miranda Lambert New Shelter Grants were awarded to two Tennessee organizations: Crossroads Campus and Wags & Walks.
 
“So many great people were there for me when I was getting started, people who believed in what I was doing, and it meant so much to me,” said Lambert. “I’m proud to be able to be there now, for some of the great organizations that are just getting off the ground. I know how much passion and hard work goes into it – it starts as a dream and the work is rewarding… and endless. I have so much respect for the people who make it happen.”
 
Crossroads Campus, located in Nashville, partners young adults who face barriers to employment and housing, including young people who have aged out of foster care, with shelter pets at risk for euthanasia. The youth reside on the north Nashville ‘campus’ and pay rent based on their income. In addition to caring for homeless pets awaiting adoption, they are also provided with career guidance and the opportunity to work at Crossroads in a variety of capacities, including learning pet grooming skills.

Wags & Walks, which has opened its new adoption facility in Hermitage, Tenn., has helped find homes for over 3,500 dogs since it first opened its Nashville operation as a rescue in 2019. Now a full-fledged adoption center, Wags & Walks houses up to 100 dogs between their adoption center and foster homes as they prepare for their new forever homes. Wags & Walks is focused on advocating for wrongfully stereotyped bully breeds, medical dogs and mothers with puppies that are often overlooked and at-risk due to overcrowding.

The Miranda Lambert New Shelter Grant was created by the MuttNation Foundation Board of Directors to help more pets and the people and organizations who care for them while honoring Lambert’s lifetime of love and dedication to animals. There is no application process for the Miranda Lambert New Shelter Grant; recipients are selected by the Board of Directors.

Miranda Lambert Celebrates Album, Tour Kick-Off on Eve of PALOMINO

MIRANDA LAMBERT’S SOLD-OUT NASHVILLE SHOW TURNS CELEBRATION ON PALOMINO’S EVE

Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year’s Eighth Studio Album Available Now

“Country’s Queen without ever kissing the ring” – LA Times

“One of the 21st century’s most ruthlessly consistent discographies” – Variety

“One of the best recorded catalogs in music. Period.” – Paste

“Lambert has established her own American iconography” – NPR

“One of her most career-defining works to date” – GRAMMY.com

Opening with the lead track on Palomino, the highly anticipated new album from the woman celebrated in the May issue of Rolling Stone (on stands now) as “country music’s most ambitious artist,” Miranda Lambert let the at-capacity crowd at Thursday night’s show in Nashville know from the start that they were in for a night of musical celebration, living life unbridled, together.

“Got my own kind of country, kind of funky, turn it up” she taunted during the sassy “Actin’ Up” opener, settling in on stage at the scenic FirstBank Amphitheater on the eve of her 15-track, eighth solo album release. Fans were also treated to a live performance of two additional songs off the project available everywhere now; Top 20-and-climbing single “If I Was a Cowboy” and the bluesy-ramble “Strange.”

“I know I’ve thrown a couple new ones at y’all tonight – thanks to singing along to those, by the way,” Lambert shared just 10 songs into a 21-song set. “I was thinking about songs that mean the world to me and the times in my life when I really needed them. I always go back to this one because I’m a sucker for a sad song,” she continued, settling into the spotlight solo with her acoustic Gibson guitar for a poignant rendition of her ACM Song of the Year “Tin Man.”

Fans were surprised midway through Lambert’s set, as Pistol Annies bandmate Ashley Monroe joined Lambert for a touching duet of “Heart Like Mine” before tour special guest The Cadillac Three’s front man Jaren Johnston also joined the party for an all-sing cover of Little Feat’s “Willin’.”

With Variety applauding “her particular gift for navigating the many shades of gray between liberation and longing,” Lambert leaned into that notion of being torn between home and the road that informs so much of her brand-new record during “Settling Down” off her most recent GRAMMY Award-winning album, 2019’s Wildcard.

Lambert also took fans back to her earliest days with her first Top 20 hit, “Kerosene,” which was followed by several other high-energy fan favorites throughout the night, including “Gunpowder and Lead” and “Mama’s Broken Heart.”

Lambert’s unique ability to juxtapose such blazing tracks with a vulnerable and reflective side that has earned her a record-setting 37 ACM Awards to date was also evident as she wowed the sold-out crowd with moving renditions of ballads such as “The House That Built Me” and Double-Platinum No. 1, “Bluebird.”

The evening also marked the first “Fill the Little Red Wagon” drive of the year, with attendees encouraged to donate pet food, treats, supplies and funds for local animal shelter Williamson County Animal Shelter on behalf of Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation. Donation sites will also be set up at each stop on Lambert’s co-headlining The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town, kicking off next Friday, May 6 in her home state of Texas.

Following the spring tour and a summer of headlining festival dates, Lambert will open her recently announced Velvet Rodeo Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Zappos Theater this September, with dates scheduled through April 2023.

Miranda Lambert Calls on Fans to Fill the Little Red Wagon for MuttNation Animal Shelters on 'The Bandwagon Tour'

As reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year and life-long animal advocate Miranda Lambert prepares to kick off The Bandwagon Tour with Little Big Town and The Cadillac Three, shelter pets across the country are just as excited as her fans. MuttNation’s Fill the Little Red Wagon presented by Tractor Supply Company will collect pet food, treats, supplies and cash donations for a pre-selected local animal shelter at the entrance of each performance venue on the 15-date tour.

In addition to The Bandwagon Tour stops, Fill the Little Red Wagon will also be onsite in Franklin, Tenn. for Lambert’s headlining show on the eve of her highly anticipated new studio album, Palomino, set for release April 29 via Vanner Records/RCA Nashville.

“After the last two years, I look forward to touring more now than ever. Especially when MuttNation’s Fill the Little Red Wagon partners with a local shelter at every venue – well, I always say there’s nothing better than having music and mutts together,” said Lambert, a tireless and passionate champion of shelter pets. “Shelters always need help and over the years, with the great support of my fans, volunteers, Tractor Supply and Live Nation, we’ve collected literally tons of food, toys and supplies for mutts nationwide. I’m excited to be back with my fans again this year as we work together to make a difference in the lives of countless animals in each city.”

“Miranda’s musical talent and love for helping shelter pets find forever homes are both unmatched,” said Nicole Logan, Vice President of Divisional Merchandise Management at Tractor Supply. “Tractor Supply simply could not ask for a better partner than Miranda, MuttNation and her entire team. We’re so excited to once again support Fill the Little Red Wagon and we thank all the fans who will be donating needed supplies for shelters across the country.”

At each venue, one of Lambert’s lucky fans that signs up when dropping off a donation will be randomly selected to receive upgraded seating to that night’s show for him/herself and a guest. Check show sites online for Fill the Little Red Wagon collection times.

Miranda Lambert's MuttNation & Tractor Supply Co. Donate Over $250,000 to Animal Shelters Across the U.S.

MIRANDA LAMBERT’S MUTTNATION & TRACTOR SUPPLY CO.
DONATE OVER $250,000 TO ANIMAL SHELTERS

Mutts Across America Program Makes Surprise Donation in Every State

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation and Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, teamed up to donate more than $250,000 to animal shelters across the United States. Through MuttNation’s Mutts Across America program, the organizations issued a surprise $5,000 donation to one shelter or foster-based rescue in each state plus 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, Miranda’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 Miranda, the multiple GRAMMY, CMA, ACM artist and reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year. “We’re so proud to have Tractor Supply Company as our partner. Together we are accomplishing so much and, thanks to their incredibly generous support, we’re able to make a real difference for tens of thousands of animals.”

Since the initiative’s inception, MuttNation’s Mutts Across America has supported more than 400 shelters with over $1.5 million in grants. Tractor Supply first partnered with MuttNation for the initiative in 2021.

“Our Tractor Supply team loves animals, and Miranda and Bev’s passion and enthusiasm for shelter pets is an inspiration,” said Seth Estep, Tractor Supply’s EVP and Chief Merchandising Officer. “The Mutts Across America grants can have a tremendous impact on the facilities that support these abandoned and neglected animals. We are honored to partner with MuttNation in this initiative to help these shelters perform this difficult but important work.”

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.

Take the Mutt Match Quiz – Find Your Furever Love and Win Tickets to The Bandwagon Tour!

Country Music icon and animal advocate Miranda Lambert has a lot of love to share on behalf of her pet-loving fans who have volunteered, fostered or adopted rescue pets. She’s donating $20,000 to 20 shelters that will each receive $1,000 on behalf of the caring people who gave their time and their hearts to these animals over this past year.

Lambert, who began volunteering at animal shelters as a teenager, and who has five rescue dogs, several cats, rabbits and horses said, “Shelter pets – especially the ones that are hardest to get adopted – and the people who care for them, have always had my heart. Valentine’s Day gives me one more chance to show just how special they all are to me.”

Are You Ready To Love Harder? If you’re game, take the Mutt Match quiz – it’s a playful questionnaire for people who want to step up for the harder-to-get-adopted dogs – large dogs, special needs dogs, pit mixes and senior dogs – and help match them with what may be their best Valentine ever. There’s also a chance to win tickets to The Bandwagon Tour featuring Lambert and Little Big Town! You can take the Mutt Match quiz here: www.quiz.muttnation.com.

MuttNation congratulates the twenty grant recipient shelters and all of the dedicated people who volunteered, fostered and adopted shelter pets – who made it happen.
