Miranda Lambert showed some love on Valentine’s Day by making generous donations to nearly two dozen animal shelters nationwide. The “If I Was A Cowboy” artist is a longtime animal advocate, so she opted to support the people and animals who have “always had my heart.”
“Shelter pets — especially the ones that are hardest to get adopted — and the people who care for them, have always had my heart,” Lambert told Nashville’s Fox 17, which noted that the country star gave a total of $20,000. “Valentine’s Day gives me one more chance to show just how special they all are to me.” Lambert reportedly donated $1,000 each to 20 local animal shelters.
Lambert — who is nominated in a few major categories at the upcoming 57th ACM Awards — also directed her social media followers to Mutt Nation, the nonprofit organization she founded with her mom in 2009 to help “ensure that as many dogs as possible would have a safe and happy place to call home,” Mutt Nation reads. The organization launched a quiz to help potential pet owners find what Lambert described on her social media channels as their perfect “mutt match.” Find the quiz here.
