Miranda Lambert is offering advice to those interested in adopting a dog this summer. 

In honor of National Mutt Day, the “All Kinds of Kinds” singer notes that certain types of dogs have a harder time being adopted than others, including senior dogs, pit bulls, large black dogs and canines that have disabilities. 

“I encourage you to keep an open mind if you’re looking for a new pup,” she writes in a video that shows the singer visiting and playing with a variety of shelter dogs, at one point clutching her heart as she walks through the aisles of cages. “They have so much love in them…And they just need us to love them a lil bit harder.”

To support the cause, Vinyl Me, Please is donating 25 percent of the proceeds made off of sales of Miranda’s records to MuttNation, the foundation she started with her mother, Bev Lambert, that helps displaced dogs during natural disasters, provides financial support to animal shelters and more. The sale ends on August 2.
