“Texas is my home state and the tragedy that took so many lives – and forever changed so many others – left me without words to express my heartbreak. All I knew was that I wanted to help,” the country star said in a statement. “I’m grateful that our MuttNation-Tractor Supply Relief for Rescues Fund could quickly jump into action. We started the fund so we could immediately respond to the needs of animal shelters and rescues after a natural disaster, and it’s always incredible to see it in action during times like this. A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to make that possible.” 

“At Tractor Supply, we were heartbroken by the recent floods and the devastating aftermath for these communities,” added Kimberley Gardiner, the senior vp and chief marketing officer at Tractor Supply Company, via a statement. “These funds are more than financial support – they’re a lifeline to animals and the people working tirelessly to care for them. We’re committed to helping these organizations continue their mission of care, rescue and compassion when it’s needed most.”

According to the Associated Press, at least 135 people died from the catastrophic floods that hit on July 4.
