Animal-loving, country superstar Miranda Lambert changed things up for Giving Tuesday. Rather than asking her mutt-loving fans to donate to her 501c3 nonprofit MuttNation Foundation, she asked them to commit to volunteering for a day at their local shelter and subsequently announced that three of those lucky shelters would be randomly selected to each receive a $1,000 donation on behalf of their volunteer.
“We didn’t know if one person or 100 people would rise to the challenge and were thrilled by the response of 399 rescue-loving folks who signed on. Nothing makes me happier than to see people actively participate in making a positive difference at their local level,” said Miranda.
“We could not do what we do without our volunteers” added Paul Robinson of Morning Meadow Animal Rescue (Fordyce, AR), one of the three selected shelters. The other two rescues receiving MuttNation grants are BARC Humane Society of Palestine, TX and Dogwood Animal Shelter of Osage Beach, MO.
MuttNation encourages everyone who has the time to volunteer at their local animal shelter – and to share your stories and photos online and tag MuttNation.
