Tractor Supply Company and Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation, the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year, have announced the establishment of the Relief for Rescues Fund.
Customers can donate to the Tractor Supply and MuttNation Relief for Rescues Fund at any Tractor Supply store location, online at TractorSupply.com, or via the Tractor Supply mobile app until March 12. The fund will create financial support for shelter animals affected by disasters such as floods, fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes, as well as in hoarding situations, allowing for faster response times to help animals in need.
“We are very proud of our longstanding partnership with Miranda and MuttNation and look forward to doing our part to help sustain the important work of Relief for Rescues,” Tractor Supply senior vice president and chief marketing officer Kimberley Gardiner stated. “Many people don’t realize the challenges that shelters face in the aftermath of an emergency or disaster. Relief for Rescues provides them with vital support and resources, ensuring that animals receive the care and essentials they need during these critical times.”
Since 2009, MuttNation Foundation has sponsored shelters and shelter animals. Lambert was on the ground in Houston, Texas following Hurricane Harvey in 2017, moving animals and aiding local recovery teams in any way she could.
“It’s really no longer a question of ‘if’ – it’s just a matter of ‘when’ the inevitable will happen and MuttNation and Tractor Supply want to be ready to help shelter pets in times of crisis,” reflects the woman honored by TIME as one of 2022’s most influential people in the world in recognition of her advocacy. “We know it’s not easy to see the road back after a major disaster. We want to provide a ray of sunlight after the storm.”
Since 2019, Tractor Supply and MuttNation Foundation have cooperated on a number of initiatives, including MuttNation’s Mutts Across America program, which provides funding to animal shelters across the country. MuttNation pet supplies are only available at Tractor Supply. A portion of all MuttNation sales benefit the MuttNation Foundation, which promotes and facilitates the adoption of shelter pets.
