Giving back to those who are enlisting change.
Miranda Lambert is a badass in country music but has a soft side regarding dogs. Since co-founding MuttNation in 2009, Miranda Lambert has been on a mission to raise awareness of shelter animals, helping four-legged friends find their forever homes and helping financially support local shelters so they can keep rescuing dogs.
This year, during Lambert’s third annual big shopping day with Tractor Supply, Miranda Lambert brought along a special friend and fellow dog lover, Ella Langley, to purchase gifts, food, and toys for local Nashville shelters.
“It’s our third annual big shop for the local shelters in Nashville. I brought a special friend who also loves rescue! Miss Ella Langley. We are sisters in country music and in dog loving.”
Lambert said as cameras followed the two women into Tractor Supply, highlighting some of the goodies dogs, puppies, kittens, and cats will receive at shelters. After shopping, Santa came early, and the two women hand-delivered all of the goods to the shelters and gave some of the animals attention while they were there.
While these two did something great during MuttNation’s big shop day, Lambert had another surprise for Langley that day. MuttNation gifted Ella Langley’s rescue non-profit with a $5,000 grant.
“Y’all already know Ella Langley is a badass, and something that makes her even more badass is that she’s a founding board member of Pawsitive Rescue Division – a rescue group here in Tennessee.
They’re just getting their feet off the ground, so MuttNation surprised them with a $5,000 grant to help ’em keep growin’.”
Ella Langley has two dogs and, like Miranda Lambert, is passionate about finding all dogs their forever homes. When She is not on the road, she spends her free time finding homes for these adorable dogs and advocating for people to adopt instead of shopping for them.
After months of posting dogs available for adoption on her page, she announced this fall that she is a founding board member of the Pawsitive Rescue Division, a Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) dog rescue.
“I know y’all may have seen me posting about these sweet dogs up for adoption, and I’m so excited to finally announce that I’m a founding board member of Pawsitive Rescue Division! Animals have always been something I’m passionate about, and I’m so excited about this journey.”
MuttNation’s generous grant not only helps Langley’s organization get its feet off the ground, given it has recently gotten up and moving, but it also shows support from Lambert that she hopes Pawsitive Rescue Division can make a significant change within the rescue community.
Based on Pawsitive Rescue Division’s Instagram page, they have already helped numerous dogs find their forever homes, and with this grand, their mission can continue to grow while helping furry friends.
