The star and her mother, Bev Lambert, are the founders of the MuttNation Foundation. According to its website, the organization works “to help shine the spotlight on rescue animals and shelters.”

Lambert and her mother founded the organization in 2009 to try and help as many dogs as they could to find a safe shelter. So in honor of MuttNation’s 11th anniversary this year, the organization is doing what it does best.
