Miranda Lambert Celebrates Birthday With $7,100 Raised For Metro Animal Care & Control
Miranda Lambert celebrated her 40th birthday on Friday (Nov. 10) by raising over $7,000 for Metro Animal Care & Control (MACC). More than 70 pairs of cowboy boots were featured in a flash sale at Casa Rosa, Lambert’s Tex-Mex venue in downtown Nashville, and sold out in 60 minutes.
“I wanted to do something fun on my birthday that also helped the pups, and this was an opportunity for my boot-loving, mutt-loving fans to get something great and give something great at the same time,” shares Lambert. “MACC is the only open intake shelter in Nashville and MuttNation is proud to support them. So if you’re looking to adopt or foster, remember to check out the great pets at MACC, or visit your local shelter.”
