Rags to Riches Wednesday!! When shes not topping the charts with her award-winning music, country singer, Miranda Lambert, is passionate about helping shelter dogs find their forever homes. She volunteers and helped to raise 70,000 for her local rescue. https://youtube/watch?v=Wt2TZzEr014 When asked about her current pups this is what she had to say. I have a lot of animals! Our pets are all mixed breeds. Delta Dawn is a Chihuaua/Pug. She had been living at the Sonic Drive- In for about a week. I brought her home and she was in bad shape and I nursed her back to health. Since I found her right before the ACMs (Academy of Country Music Awards), I brought her with me as I didn’t want to leave her home with friends. She ended up backstage at the show in Vegas and seemed immediately in her element. We also have Cher, a Chihuahua. I took a friend to a shelter to adopt a dog for his daughter. That’s when I saw a new puppy being brought in that weighed about one pound. She was only four or five weeks old. Someone had heard her crying from a box in a dumpster. After seeing her and hearing the story, I knew immediately she was mine. Delilah, she’s Terrier mix. She was my first adoptee. She was abandoned in a yard when someone moved. They just left her there with another small dog. Neighbours called and reported it and they took her to the shelter in Tyler, Texas. The other dog was adopted, but Delilah was left behind. My mom and I went to volunteer at that shelter during my radio tour in Texas and they had about 200 dogs there, but neither of us could take our eyes off of this beautiful little Terrier. I guess oftentimes dogs adopt you. She is now retired from the road and lives with my Nonny, where she enjoys a life of luxury. And we have Betty, a hound. Betty is Blake’s dog in every way. We found her and her sister on the side of the road in Oklahoma around our neighbourhood. She acts just like Blake, as she’s the most mischievous and loving thing in the world. She travels with both of us off and on. Jessie and Waylon are Golden Retrievers that my mom and I found on the side of the road on a bridge in the rain. It was pouring, and I wasn’t sure what I saw but we stopped and found those two little puppies and took them to the vet immediately. Both of them love living on my farm and they’re fully-grown and very happy dogs.
