Miranda Lambert celebrates her 39th birthday today (11/10). Throughout her career and life, she has always championed her many animals and pets throughout the country with her Muttnation Foundation helping shelters in America.

To help shine the spotlight on rescue animals and shelters, Lambert and her mom Bev Lambert founded MuttNation Foundation in 2009 to ensure that as many dogs as possible would have a safe and happy place to call home.

The Muttnation website describes what they do: "MuttNation is supporting Greater Good and Humane Society Naples in their efforts to help pets impacted by the hurricane. 100% of your donation will benefit these two organizations."

The website also noted, "Miranda's love for animals has always been essential to who she is. While volunteering at local shelters, she adopted her first pup Delilah as a companion when she started touring."

To celebrate Miranda today, we gathered ten of her most recent posts about her beloved animals; whether from her own home, a friend's home, or just trying to find forever homes for the many shelter animals she helps each year.
