Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation — in partnership with Tractor Supply Company — announced the return of the annual Relief for Rescues fundraising event. As it has done previously, Relief for Rescues provides financial support for shelter animals impacted by disasters such as floods, fires, hurricanes and tornadoes. The Fund launched in 2023, has raised over $1 million and has already allocated over $600,000 to support shelter animals impacted by natural disasters.
Customers can donate to the Relief for Rescues Fund during checkout at any Tractor Supply store location, online at TractorSupply.com or via the Tractor Supply mobile app between from January 12-January 22. The Fund is actively supporting the Southern California region currently impacted by ongoing wildfires; it had recently deployed $250,000 to provide critical assistance to 31 animal shelters and organizations across multiple states in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The money distributed helped animal rescues access more efficient emergency response and provided food, supplies, veterinary care, transport services for displaced pets and assistance with shelter repair.
Lambert said in a statement: “Our Relief For Rescues Fund allows MuttNation to help shelters when they need us the most. It’s been heartbreaking to see the devastation in California unfold, and we’re grateful that our Fund and the generosity of our donors has allowed us to respond quickly. 100% of your support goes directly to those impacted by disasters.”
MuttNation Foundation and Tractor Supply have teamed up since 2019 to also support MuttNation’s Mutts Across America program, providing annual grants to animal shelters nationwide. Additionally, Tractor Supply is the exclusive home for MuttNation pet products, with a percentage of all MuttNation sales going to MuttNation Foundation to further support its mission to promote and facilitate adoption of shelter pets.
