It’s no secret that Miranda Lambert is an animal lover–it’s always been a big part of her life. Growing up in a home with an open door policy for people and animals alike, she has adopted that mindset for her own life. Volunteering at the Humane Society of East Texas in her teens has led her to adopting Delilah and ultimately started “Cause for the Paws”, a yearly fundraiser now in its 8th year. This week, Miranda gets to grow her MuttNation (an organization she established with her mom, Beverly, in 2009), with a partnership with Petmate, which is the worldwide provider of fun, trusted, quality products to enhance the lives of pets and their families. At the Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida, which runs from March 16th to the 18th, Miranda and Petmate will introduce the MuttNation Pet Collection–which will include bedding, collars, leashes, toys, apparel, feeding and watering products that reflect Miranda’s lifestyle. One of the highlights is the Rescue Mutts collection of six plush puppies. Each toy puppy was created from a real-life rescue dog with its own story…including the depiction of the dog’s adoption, and  life with their new family. This particular toy is very close to Miranda’s heart as her own dog Delilah was her very first rescue and is featured in the Rescue Mutt collection. Every purchase will help fund rescue and adoption programs of the MuttNation Foundation.
