Miranda Lambert's Little Red 'Bandwagon' Overflowed

Thousands of Miranda Lambert's fans share her passion for rescue animals and have shown it in spades by jumping on the Bandwagon Tour and donating record amounts of dog food, treats, toys, supplies, and cash to Fill the Little Red Wagon. In each city, a deserving shelter-partner was selected to participate and receive the donations. And, just to sweeten the pot, one lucky supporter at each stop was randomly chosen to join Miranda for a meet & greet. Fill the Little Red Wagon is a signature program of the MuttNation Foundation, Miranda's 501c3 nonprofit, which was founded in 2009 by Miranda and her mom, Bev, to advance the adoption of shelter animals.

In Houston, the abundance of donations more than filled the shelter partner's coffers. Catherine Hoffman of Corridor Rescue said, "It was a huge blessing for us to get the exposure and all of the donations from Miranda's generous fans" Throughout the tour, the 'overflowing' response was the rule, rather than the exception; evidenced again by Animal Friends of Pittsburgh where they received more than 350lbs of dog food, 75lbs of treats and countless other items.

Lambert, who owns 8 rescue dogs, says, "My fans always amaze me with their compassion and generosity. Knowing so many of us share this love for shelter pets adds another special connection between us and, when I get to hear some of the fans' stories about their rescues, it always touches my heart."

MuttNation would like to hear how you give back to help shelter animals.
