On May 5th is my birthday, a very special day, because then I will be 17 years old! Wow, isn’t that amazing?! About five years ago I was rescued from a puppy mill and during all those horrible and terrifying years in prison I couldn’t ever imagine that I would have such a wonderful life with my family, filled with so much love, happiness and magic adventures. And that I would have so many beautiful friends all over the world.

Some people already know about my birthday soon and they asked for my address because they would love to send me a birthday card or gift. Well, I would love to receive many many birthday cards! But I am also thinking of so many dogs in need, who don't have their own family, so Irene and I thought of something else.

For my birthday I want to do something special for other dogs in need and I would love to raise money to help them. A third of the donations will go to Bianca, the organization in Portugal who saved me. Another third to dogs who are differently abled and live in a country where they can use all the support they so desperately need (I will tell you more about that later). And the last third is for helping the other dogs in my family (I already have my Magic Fund), because I know how many people love to support us too.

First, we had the idea that people who like to send a birthday card, maybe also like to enclose a donation. This can be $1, 2, 5, 10 or more, just what you want or are able to give. That's still possible of course, I love to receive lots of cards, but there were some people who expressed that it would feel safer to make a donation via a fund. That's why I created this fund.

For sending birthday cards, my address is:
Little Belle
Langereis 42
1733 ME Nieuwe Niedorp
The Netherlands

Can you imagine how many dogs we can help together? It feels so special that I am able to help others now, that I and we can make a difference, create magic in other lives, we all need that!

Thank you ♥

I promised to tell your more about the differently abled dogs where a third of your donations to my special 17th Birthday Fund will go to and I think you will love to read that it goes to 2 dogs of Stefan’s family in Serbia! Their names are Toto and. . . . .
