Mutts Across America Program Makes Surprise
Donation in Every State
Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation has joined forces
for the fourth consecutive year with Tractor Supply Company
(NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United
States, to donate more than $250,000 to animal shelters across the
nation. Through MuttNation’s Mutts Across America program,
one outstanding shelter or foster-based rescue in every state –
plus Washington, D.C. and a “Wildcard” pick – is being honored with
a surprise $5,000 grant.

“Mutts Across America is such a great program because it gives
us the chance to highlight an amazing shelter in every state and
thank them for the hard work they do throughout the year,” shared
Lambert. “We especially love honoring the shelters that work with
the dogs that are hardest to get adopted. We’re so proud to have
such a strong and supportive partner in Tractor Supply sharing our
values and goals to help as many shelter pets as possible live
their best lives.”
Since the initiative was developed 10 years ago by Lambert’s
mother and MuttNation co-founder, Bev Lambert, Mutts Across America
has supported more than 500 shelters with over $2 million in
grants. Tractor Supply began partnering with MuttNation in
2021.
“Caring for pets and animals is a calling we hold close to our
hearts at Tractor Supply,” said Kimberley Gardiner, chief marketing
officer at Tractor Supply. “Pets are an incredible source of joy
for us Out Here, which is why we’re honored to support these
shelters that are saving lives and providing care to animals in
need alongside Miranda. Her dedication to this cause shines through
all of MuttNation’s programs, and it’s a privilege to recognize
shelters across the country that share this mission as well.”
Each year, MuttNation conducts extensive research to carefully
choose the organizations that will be honored and, again this year,
is recognizing some of the outstanding shelters that help seniors,
special needs dogs, large dogs and pit mixes; the “Love Harder”
dogs that are easy to love but hardest to get adopted. There is no
application process for Mutts Across America, and the recipients
are given no advance notice before receiving the award.
In addition to the Mutts Across America partnership, MuttNation
and Tractor Supply started the Relief For Rescues Fund in 2023 to
help shelters and shelter pets recover from natural disasters. To
date, the fund has generated nearly $1 million and provides
year-round support from disasters such as floods, fires, hurricanes
and tornadoes – as well as in other emergency situations.
Tractor Supply is the exclusive retailer of MuttNation pet
products, with a percentage of all sales going to the MuttNation
Foundation to promote and facilitate its mission.
Lambert will celebrate MuttNation’s 15th Anniversary with the
Music For Mutts benefit concert on October 5 at Ascend Amphitheater
in Nashville; Tractor Supply is a concert sponsor. The full lineup
for the event featuring Miranda Lambert & Friends will be
announced in the coming months. Tickets are on sale now at
MuttNation.com.
