Animal Care Society Selected to Receive Funds From Grammy Winning Country Singer-Songwriter Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation
Louisville, Kentucky – Today the Animal Care Society, Louisville’s first no-kill shelter, received notification that the organization has been selected to receive a gift from Grammy winning Country singer-songwriter Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Foundation (MNF). MNF selected one shelter per state (in all 50 states) and the Animal Care Society was the lucky shelter selected for Kentucky based on the MNF’s criteria elements, some of which include:
- High adoption per intake rate
- High volunteerism
- Fiscally responsible
- High activity/fundraising
- Active community outreach
The Animal Care society received $3000 for its operating fund and Executive Director Bunny Zeller says, “We are so thrilled to have received this honor. It takes a lot of time, dedication and resources to make the Animal Care Society the successful organization it has become. It’s nice to be recognized and to share that recognition with our wonderful volunteers as well as our community!”
