Miranda Lambert

My dad, my dad, you know, I grew up hunting with him, like taught me how to shoot a gun and all that stuff at 17.

And when I raised that buck, he was like, it's over, isn't it?

It's over.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't do it.

I mean, I don't do well.

That's why I brought your dog toys.

I don't know.

It's part of who I am, especially dogs.

That's my heart.

I have a foundation called Mutt Nation Foundation.

I started with my mom in 2009.

So far, we've raised over $11 million since then.

It was like a little mom-and-pop operation back in the day, but it just has been my heart since I was a little girl.

I think growing up in the country where there's just animals everywhere, whether it's deer or stray dogs or stray cats or whatever, I think it just kind of prepped me for when you get a platform and someone's like, what do you want your charity to be?

It's like, oh, I know what it's going to be.

We rescue – well, we advocate for rescue.

Mutt Nation Foundation, we don't have shelters.

We lift up the arms of shelters is what we say because we – my mom and dad were private investigators my whole life.
