Country music superstar Miranda Lambert, also a Texas native, is working with her MuttNation Foundation to help animals in need in the Houston area. The organization has already rescued 72 dogs:

The resilience displayed by Texas and the willingness of everyone to help with relief efforts has been truly inspiring. We can’t wait to see what Strait has planned!
