Campaign raises critical funds to support
shelter animals impacted by natural disasters; funds are already
providing immediate relief in response to ongoing Southern
California wildfires
Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural
lifestyle retailer in the United States, in partnership with
three-time GRAMMY winner Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation,
announced today the return of the annual Relief for Rescues
fundraising event. The Relief for Rescues Fund provides financial
support for shelter animals impacted by disasters such as floods,
fires, hurricanes and tornadoes.
From January 12 through 22, customers can donate to the Relief
for Rescues Fund during checkout at any Tractor Supply store
location, online at TractorSupply.com or via the Tractor Supply
mobile app. Launched in 2023, the Fund has raised over $1 million
and has already allocated over $600,000 to support shelter animals
impacted by natural disasters.
“At Tractor Supply, we’re passionate about animals and dedicated
to supporting them however we can,” said Kimberley Gardiner,
Tractor Supply’s chief marketing officer. “Natural disasters often
leave more pets without homes and put extra pressure on shelters.
That’s where the Relief for Rescues Fund comes in—it allows us to
quickly provide financial support and help ease that strain. We’re
incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished so far with Miranda,
MuttNation, our amazing Team Members and our customers. This year,
we’re excited to keep that momentum going and make an even bigger
impact together.”
The fund is actively supporting the Southern California region
currently impacted by ongoing wildfires and recently deployed
$250,000 to provide critical assistance to 31 animal shelters and
organizations across multiple states in the wake of Hurricanes
Helene and Milton. The money distributed helped animal rescues
access more efficient emergency response and provided food,
supplies, veterinary care, transport services for displaced pets
and assistance with shelter repair.
“Our Relief For Rescues Fund allows MuttNation to help shelters
when they need us the most,” said Lambert. “While we can’t predict
when the next disaster will occur, thanks to Tractor Supply and
their generous, pet-loving patrons, we can say for sure that
MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief For Rescues will be there to help.
We are so grateful to everyone who supports this cause and want you
to know that 100% of your support goes directly to those impacted
by disasters.”
Tractor Supply and MuttNation Foundation have collaborated since
2019 and together also support MuttNation’s Mutts Across America
program, providing annual grants to animal shelters nationwide.
Additionally, Tractor Supply is the exclusive home for MuttNation
pet products, with a percentage of all MuttNation sales going to
MuttNation Foundation to further support its mission to promote and
facilitate adoption of shelter pets.
