Miranda Lambert Raises Money for Humane Society

TYLER � Over 6,000 people poured into the downtown Tyler Square on Saturday afternoon for the 4th Annual Cause For The Paws event — an event envisioned by award winning country artist Miranda Lambert, a native East Texan. The event was originally meant just to help the Humane Society of East Texas, but now it’s growing — while still including its original beneficiary. “Now that we’ve gotten the Humane Society of East Texas so built up, we wanted to start branching out and going across the United States, so we started the foundation (Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation) to sort of put all the money we raise in one pot and be able to help more than just our hometown…but spread it out,” Lambert told KETK Also at Saturday’s event, there were performances by Stoney Larue and Josh Kelley.

Lambert says Saturday’s show is actually the last show she’ll be performing for a while due to some other plans she has coming up. “Ready to get married, it’s been a year in planning so it kind of consumes everyone’s life for a year and so I’m ready to experience it and then move on,” Lambert said. Lambert’s people says they raised over $50,000 Saturday night in just the live auction alone. Lambert’s fiance is fellow country star Blake Shelton.
