Miranda Lambert and some of her adorable MuttNation pals are raising their paws for the cause with an inaugural MuttNation March on the morning of June 8 during CMA Music Fest. Lambert and her band of precious rescue dogs will march from Nissan Stadium over the Pedestrian Bridge into downtown Nashville to raise awareness about pet adoption and help some of the MuttNation find permanent homes.
“So many shelter pets need a home, so we are going to march to raise awareness,” says Lambert. “Country music has the best fans in the world and together we can help so many animals find amazing homes.”
Fans and their own dogs are encouraged to join the celebration and help spread awareness for shelter pets, and registration for the inaugural MuttNation March begins today at MuttNationFoundation.com. The cost to register is $15 per person and includes an event t-shirt to wear during the march.
The March will conclude just steps away from Music City Center, where the MuttNation Foundation Adoption Drive will take place inside CMA Fan Fair X throughout CMA Fest. The Adoption Drive will feature a photo booth, the MuttNation mobile unit and the crowd favorite, “Puppy Corral,” with plenty of shelter dogs looking to find forever homes. The MuttNation Fueled by Miranda Lambert Pet Collection will also be available to purchase, and a portion of proceeds from each sale goes to benefit the MuttNation Foundation.
Those unable to attend the March can still help out some deserving furry friends in need. Today through June 19, fans can visit MuttNationFoundation.com and enter the MuttNation Shelter Day Sweepstakes, where a winner and guest will receive a day with Lambert making over an animal shelter in need. Fans giving higher donations will receive a handful of unique incentives including exclusive merchandise, meet & greets and more.
