Bellywood supports the Tasmanian Dogs Home by sponsoring a kennel & also making regular donations. Funds are from part proceeds from our end of term haflas as well as from Adriana personally. If you are looking for a new family member please give a home to one of the beautiful doggies waiting for someone to love them. If you weren't one of the lucky ones who won a Dogs Home Calendar at our Xmas Hafla I'm sure the home will be happy to sell you one.
