Miranda Lambert's MuttNation Fund at Waggle has expanded to help pets injured during natural disasters and people with senior dogs in need of medical care with their vet bills. The fund was initially formed in September to help music community members impacted by COVID-19 with their pet’s medical expenses.

Miranda said “Helping shelter pets during natural disasters has always been a core part of MuttNation’s mission and, this year, there’s been so many hurricanes they ran out of names; and the wildfires burned forever.”

She added, “After losing Waylon earlier this month – he was just shy of 13, I know how important and how costly it can be to keep our older pets healthy. Especially this year, and at this time of year, we’re so thankful to be able to do something to help people save their pets through our MuttNation Fund at Waggle.”

The first pet to receive help from of the newly broadened MuttNation Fund at Waggle is Lilly, a 13-year-old Whippet mix from Harrington, New Jersey in need of treatment for liver cancer.
