Not only does she rescue and have like a million dogs at home, but now Miley is doing all she can do to protect carriage horses in New York City.
"Miley grew up around animals and with all our horses growing up, so she is very passionate about protecting all animals," mom Tish Cyrus exclusively told E! News.
The Cyrus' are doing all they can to show their support of a circulating petition to ban horse-drawn carriages in New York City. Miley and Tish both knew Miley's fans could help out the cause and they did when she asked them to sign.
"Miley's fans have been amazing...We were trying to reach at least 100,000 people signing the petition and, after Miley tweeted, her fans got us 6,000 signatures in a few hours and pushed us over. We couldn't have done it without all her fans," Mama Cyrus said.
A spokeswoman for the organization behind the proposed ban told E! today that they "shattered" their goal of scoring a 100,000 signatures, thanks to the Miley's family's help, and that they're hoping to have 110,000 by the end of March.
Tish also said that her family would love to turn part of their 500-acre farm near Nashville into a horse sanctuary for retired carriage pullers.
"You all made my mama and all the horses so happy :)...my fans really do come in handy xx," Miley tweeted.
How awesome is Miley when it comes to saving and loving animals?!
