Since then, more than $1.6 million has been allocated to over 166 shelters and rescues in the wake of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes and other devastating events.<\/p><p>\n\u201cAnyone who knows our customers realizes pretty quick that their pets are truly part of the family,\u201d said <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcorporate.tractorsupply.com%2Fcompany-overview%2Fleadership%2Fkimberley-gardiner%2F&amp;esheet=54556009&amp;newsitemid=20260617176184&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Kimberley+Gardiner&amp;index=6&amp;md5=82c1facb885432540adb248b3963a9f3\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">Kimberley Gardiner<\/a>, Tractor Supply\u2019s chief marketing officer. \u201cThat\u2019s why this partnership with Miranda and MuttNation resonates so strongly. When disasters strike, shelters and rescue organizations often face overwhelming challenges, and our customers never hesitate to lend a hand. Their generosity continues to make a meaningful difference, helping provide care and support for animals when they need it most.\u201d<\/p><p>\nWhen natural disasters strike, Relief for Rescues provides funds directly to impacted shelters and rescues, as well as organizations offering boots-on-the-ground assistance, covering all aspects of recovery: food, supplies, veterinary care, transport and repairs. In 2025 alone, MuttNation Foundation deployed hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Fund to assist with recovery from multiple disasters, including the California wildfires in January and the Texas Hill Country floods in July.<\/p><p>\n\u201cAnimals are some of the most vulnerable victims of natural disasters, and after seeing the devastation of events like the Texas floods, I\u2019m more committed than ever to making sure Relief for Rescues is there for every shelter that needs us,\" said Lambert.<\/p><p>\nThe three-time GRAMMY Award-winning superstar partnered with Tractor Supply to create the Relief for Rescues Fund after witnessing the lack of resources available to animal shelters after catastrophic events. Together, they launched an in-store and online Tractor Supply fundraiser, using the initial money raised to create a dedicated fund.<\/p><p>\nTractor Supply and MuttNation Foundation have collaborated since 2019 and together support MuttNation\u2019s annual Mutts Across America program, providing grants to animal shelters nationwide. Tractor Supply is also the exclusive home for MuttNation pet products. A percentage of all MuttNation sales goes to the MuttNation Foundation to further support its mission to promote and facilitate adoption of shelter pets.<\/p><p>\n<b>Little Red Wagon Pet Supply Drive<\/b><\/p><p>\nAs part of its support of Miranda Lambert and the Music City Rodeo, Tractor Supply hosted a \"Help Us Fill the Little Red Wagon\" pet supply drive to benefit shelter animals in the Nashville community.<\/p><p>\nHeld on May 28 at the Tractor Supply tent outside Bridgestone Arena, the activation encouraged rodeo fans to donate pet food, toys, treats and other pet care essentials for local shelter pets. To thank participants, the first 100 donors received a Tractor Supply gift card.<\/p><p>\nDonated supplies were collected during the event and donated to Metro Animal Care and Control in Nashville, helping provide needed resources for animals awaiting adoption. The activation reflected Tractor Supply's ongoing commitment to supporting animal welfare and caring for pets in the communities it calls home.<\/p><p>\nMuttNation Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded by Lambert and her mother, Bev, in 2009, with a mission to promote the adoption of shelter pets, spay and neuter and to provide assistance to shelters during times of natural disaster.<\/p><p>\nTo learn more, visit <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tractorsupply.com%2Ftsc%2Fcms%2Fmutt-nation&amp;esheet=54556009&amp;newsitemid=20260617176184&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=TractorSupply.com%2FMuttNation&amp;index=7&amp;md5=2c7acf8f1fdeb5330b5751ee1c690a6c\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">TractorSupply.com\/MuttNation<\/a>.<\/p><p>\n<b><span class=\"bwuline\">About Tractor Supply Company<\/span><\/b><\/p><p>\nFor more than 85 years, Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nasdaq.com%2Fmarket-activity%2Fstocks%2Ftsco&amp;esheet=54556009&amp;newsitemid=20260617176184&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=TSCO&amp;index=8&amp;md5=d02bf16934fc86a808029b7248ba9ecf\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">TSCO<\/a>) has been passionate about serving the needs of recreational farmers, ranchers, homeowners, gardeners, pet enthusiasts and all those who enjoy living Life Out Here.
