The Mutts Across America: 50 States\/50 Shelters initiative provides much-needed financial support to 50 shelters across the country, with a minimum $3000 donation to each one. This year\u2019s campaign distributed a total of $206,000 to the participating shelters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel so passionately about helping all animals and I\u2019m thrilled that we have once again been able to give to phenomenal shelters all across the country,\u201d Lambert says in a press release. \u201cThe people at these shelters do such amazing work day in and day out and are truly heroes for the animals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The shelters were chosen after meeting certain criteria regarding high adoption and low euthanasia rates, a focus on volunteerism and individual fundraising, fiscal responsibility, online presence, spay and neutering and more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn October 2014 we took over our first owned-and-operated shelter in Tishomingo, Okla., Redemption Ranch. Prior to that, we didn\u2019t operate a shelter but we adhered to the belief that we should \u2018hold up the arms\u2019 of those who do,\u201d says Bev Lambert, Miranda\u2019s mother and MuttNation Foundation co-founder. \u201cWe are fortunate enough to have the funding again this year to continue this initiative which is so important. We believe the selected shelters stand as examples in the fight to end animal homelessness, abuse and neglect, as well as encouraging adoption, spay and neuter programs and avoiding needless euthanasia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MNF also continues to support the American Humane Association and Northshore Animal League, as well as Lambert\u2019s hometown shelters, Redemption Ranch in Oklahoma and Pet Fur People in east Texas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wt2TZzEr014 For the second year in a row, Miranda Lambert has stepped up to make a huge difference in the lives of shelter animals all across America.
