MIRANDA LAMBERT: Putting a Paws on Medical Expenses
Miranda Lambert has found a way to help out her music industry friends impacted by COVID-19 while also assisting their pets. Miranda's MuttNation is partnering with the Waggle Foundation to help provide funds for their veterinarian care.
Miranda, who has nine rescue dogs, says, “It really hit home when my backup singer and close friendGwen’s shelter dog, Earl, became extremely ill in early March, just as the pandemic was taking hold and our tour had to stop. It was such an unexpected major expense at an already tough time. So, it got me thinking that there must be a lot more people whose careers in the music industry have been on pause due to lack of live performance opportunities, and who are struggling with their pets’ vet bills."
Miranda is starting the fund with a generous donation, and it will be sustained through further online donations on theMuttNation page.
An application for the MuttNation fund is available to the broader music community on theWaggle website.
