Miranda Lambert is a real mensch!

The Oklahoma native has done everything she can to help the victims of the tornado that mainly ripped through Moore, Oklahoma. Now her help is extending to the furry victims, too!

The singer has dispatched veterinarians associated with the MuttNation Foundation, which Lambert started in 2009, to the town of Moore where they will set up shop to help injured dogs and cats in the area.

The temporary shelters were set up on Wednesday, and Lambert is very happy to do her part.

Here's what she tweeted:

We have no idea how some people can be so cruel!

The Michigan Humane Society just rescued over 150 dogs from an unlicensed breeding facility.

The poor pups were taken from JRT John’s Jack Russell and Shiba Inu Kennel in Lake City, Michigan.

Ricky Gervais is a kind-hearted, caring man who also just happens to be crazy HIGHlarious!

Ricky has worked with the WSPA, Cruelty Free International and PETA.

So he's a huuuuge animal rights supporter and activist. But how can he best help out his animal buddies??

Awww isn't appropriate for this story.

We're going to have to go with the all caps AWWW!!!

A dog was found and subsequently rescued along a creek in South Carolina, but it might have been the dog who was doing all the rescuing.

The dog was nursing a kitten at the bottom of an embarkment near the creek, and is believed to have been there with the kitty cat for at least two days!

Firefighters in Atlanta don't just put out burning buildings or pull cats out of trees.

They also save ducklings!!

Apparently, a mother duck was going crazy after her ducklings fell down a storm drain, and a PETA member called the fire department.

The firemen sprung into action, arriving at the scene, removing the grate, climbing down and rescuing all 8 baby ducks!

89 dogs were rescued from an animal hoarder in the Mojave Desert.

And somehow, all 89 of the animals have miraculously survived!

What's even stranger is the person who originally called the would be rescuers, Karma Rescue, was the hoarder herself!

The woman realized there was no possible way for her to take care of so many dogs, and luckily she came to her senses before it was too late.

Not to say that the dogs were found completely unharmed!

Worthy is a yearling horse at The Gentle Barn who needs surgery for a birth defect.

The Gentle Barn is a wonderful place where farm animals who have been subjected to severe abuse and neglect recover, then help treat and heal children who also have suffered from abuse!

It's a beautiful place and a wonderful foundation! Just ask Rose McGowan!!

Little Worthy was born with a defect of her front legs, and was too neglected to have surgery.

Well The Gentle Barn has been rehabilitating the little horsie and now she's cleared for surgery!!

Founder of The Gentle Barn said:

"At The Gentle Barn we believe that everyone deserves a chance. We are grateful to the people who have made donations to help pay for boarding and preliminary care. We now are looking to raise funding for the surgery and post op care that will allow her to live pain free for the rest of her life."
