Miranda Lambert has been busy helping some of the smallest victims of Hurricane Harvey – the dogs and cats!

The 33-year-old country star and her organization MuttNation Foundation headed to Houston to help evacuate dogs and other animals in shelters.

Miranda and the team brought those dogs to shelters in other states, so the Texas shelters had space available for animals displaced by the hurricane. This way, the animals will be nearby when their owners come looking for them.

“Thank you to everyone for the support and prayers. We are so thankful to have been invited to help our furry friends in this time of sorrow. We will continue to do whatever we can to help. Continued prayers for Texas,” Miranda wrote on her Instagram.

Jessica Chastain got emotional while sending a message to her fans, in which she called for “transformative social change.”

The two-time Oscar-nominated actress opened the video by expressing her thoughts to those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

“I’m making a video because my heart is very heavy,” Jessica said. “I’ve learned so much the past few days about the trauma many people are experiencing in our country. I’ve had the opportunity to listen, more than to speak, and it’s really hard for me to express my feelings, my thoughts, in 140 characters.”

Jessica continued by talking about the state of our country.

“I wanted you guys to know that I hear you. I want you to know that I’m committed to creating transformative social change, that I’m committed to dismantling systems of oppression. I share in the sense of what is happening in the country. I hear you. You may never have met me, but I love you,” she said.

Jessica‘s video came after she got backlash on Twitter for supporting non-violent protests. “”Returning violence for violence multiplies violence’ I’m here for changing the world through peaceful protests, calling my reps, and VOTING,” she tweeted the night before.

Tyler Perry is making a major donation to the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

The 47-year-old actor and filmmaker announced on his Facebook on Thursday (August 31) that he will be donating $1 million to those effected by the hurricane in Texas, with $250,000 going to Joel Osteen‘s Lakewood Church.

“I know that there’s been some controversy about Joel Osteen and him not opening the doors of the church,” Tyler said in his Facebook video. “Joel and [wife] Victoria are amazing people – there’s no way that they would lock people out of the church or not let people seek shelter.”

Joel faced major criticism after it was reported that he had not opened his church to the victims of the hurricane.

The church has since been opened and is housing people displaced by the hurricane.
