Hallie Hill Named a 2026 Mutts Across America Grant Recipient
Through the Mutts Across America program, one exemplary shelter or rescue organization in each of the 50 states is recognized each year with a surprise grant. As part of this special honor, Hallie Hill received a generous $5,000 donation to support the animals in our care.
For everyone at Hallie Hill, this recognition means so much.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from MuttNation Foundation and Tractor Supply Company,” said Mike Gibbons, Director of Development at Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary. “This award reflects the dedication of our staff, volunteers, supporters, and community who make it possible for us to provide the care our animals need every day. We are deeply grateful for this generous support.”
Recognizing Animal Welfare Across the Country
Mutts Across America was launched in 2014 to recognize the important work being done by well-run animal shelters and rescue organizations throughout the United States. The program was created by Bev Lambert, mother of country music artist and MuttNation Foundation co-founder Miranda Lambert.
Today, Mutts Across America is one of MuttNation Foundation’s signature programs, with continued support from Tractor Supply Company. In 2026, more than a quarter-million dollars in grants is being awarded to organizations across the country.
Being selected among these organizations is an incredible honor for Hallie Hill and a meaningful recognition of the work that takes place at the sanctuary every day.
On August 15, Hallie Hill representatives visited Tractor Supply Company during its Animal Days event, where they were presented with an oversized check celebrating the $5,000 grant.
Helping Us Care for the Animals Who Need Us
At Hallie Hill, every animal arrives with a different story and different needs. Some need time to heal before they are ready for adoption. Others may require long-term medical care, a little extra patience, or a safe place to call home for the rest of their lives.
No matter how long an animal stays with us, our goal remains the same: to provide compassionate care, comfort, security, and the opportunity for the best life possible.
The $5,000 Mutts Across America grant will help support that work. Funding like this helps provide nutritious food, veterinary care, medications, safe shelter, enrichment, spaying and neutering, heartworm prevention, and the many other necessities that go into caring for the dogs and cats who call Hallie Hill home.
We are deeply grateful to MuttNation Foundation and Tractor Supply Company for supporting organizations dedicated to improving the lives of animals and for recognizing Hallie Hill with this special honor.
An Award Shared With Our Community
While Hallie Hill is proud to receive this recognition, it belongs to far more than the sanctuary itself.
It reflects the dedication of our staff and volunteers who care for our animals day after day. It reflects the generosity of donors and supporters who make our work possible. And it reflects a community that continues to show compassion for animals who need a second chance, a safe place to land, or simply someone willing to care for them.
Thank you for being part of the Hallie Hill family and for helping us continue this mission.
