Miranda Lambert has always been a fierce advocate for helping animals, most notably through launching her MuttNation Foundation. The MuttNation Tractor Supply Relief for Rescues Fund has already donated nearly $100,000 to help relief efforts to aid pet shelters, pets and animals that have been impacted by Hurricane Helene.

On Oct. 2, Lambert posted a video on Instagram, sharing more about the MuttNation Foundation’s work to help animals affected by the natural disaster, and showing photos and videos highlighting the devastating impact Hurricane Helene has had on animal shelters.

“As y’all know, Hurricane Helene hit the Southeast hard. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the devastation that our neighbors in Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia are experiencing,” Lambert said in the Instagram video. “Our MuttNation Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund has already provided nearly $100,000 to help animal shelters, pets and their families impacted by the hurricane, as well as support emergency response organizations.”

She added, “It’s a very dire situation because many of the shelters that got hit were already struggling with overcrowding. As we’ve been in contact with the shelters, we’re also hearing really heroic stories. People are risking their lives to help. It’s that type of courage that gives me hope that we’ll all get through this.”

Lambert also noted that they have set up fundraisers to go to the MuttNation Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues Fund, with 100% of donations going to disaster relief.

Lambert is not the only country artist aiding those impacted by the hurricane. East Tennessee native Morgan Wallen, through his Morgan Wallen Foundation, donated over $500,000 to the Red Cross to help in disaster recovery efforts, while North Carolina native Luke Combs told his fans on social media that he is working on a plan to aid recovery efforts.

The category four Hurricane Helene has left massive destruction across several states since making landfall on Sept. 27, washing out roads and rendering some communities nearly inaccessible to aid. According to CNN, more than 180 people have died across six states, as communities were affected by flash floods, landslides, high winds, heavy rain and wide-range power outages.
