<p>Sharon Cuneta has one wish for fans ahead of the holiday season and her 58th birthday next year.</p><p>In her post on Wednesday, November 15, the veteran actress known as the Megastar said she would like for everyone to donate to the animal shelter Pawssion Project instead of giving her Christmas and birthday gifts.</p><p>“Dear Family, Friends, my Sharonians/Sharmy, </p><p>“I do not expect any gifts from any of you this Christmas and on my birthday on January 6, but knowing you, you are probably already preparing gifts for me or planning to. Please — DO NOT BUY ME ANYTHING. I have way too much stuff, we are always blessed with so much food from everyone always. But if you insist like I know lots of you will, and you REALLY want to give me something that I will appreciate and truly treasure, please DONATE instead to @pawssionproject. You know how much I LOVE DOGS OF ANY AND ALL BREEDS, and it just would mean the world to me if you could give to @pawssionproject to help us keep our rescued dogs well-fed and healthy,” she wrote.</p><p>“If you would want me to know that you have donated, you may donate in your name and add ‘for Sharon.’ But that really won’t be necessary,” she stressed. “Any amount or anything in kind that you give will be truly appreciated and we will be so grateful to you! THIS IS WHAT I WANT FOR THIS CHRISTMAS AND MY BIRTHDAY THAT WOULD REALLY MAKE ME HAPPIEST.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CzqwZS2rFmP/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=485&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1593961.9000000022%2C%22ls%22%3A1593409.1999999993%2C%22le%22%3A1593957.8000000007%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Sharon stressed that she does not need anything more as she is already incredibly blessed. “It would really fill my heart if you give to our dogs instead of any kind of gift to me,” she said. “I need all the help I can get for the animals I love so much, these animals who cannot speak for themselves.”</p><p>She also urged her fans in Bacolod to visit the animal shelter if they can. “If you are in Bacolod, even to just spend a day with our dogs and cats would touch my heart to no end, too,” she said. “I also would like to appeal to corporations and organizations and sponsors I have met throughout all these years to please, please help. Thank you so much!”</p><p>“I will not be accepting gifts for myself. Please, give to @pawssionproject instead and I will be forever grateful to you! God bless you all! I love you.” </p><p>Sharon has always been known to have a soft spot for animals. In fact, the actress has several pet dogs herself, which she introduced in her YouTube vlog back in 2020. They are Shih Tzus Pippi, Halle, Sully, and Daisy; Bichon Frise Arie; Giant silver Poodle Bella; Coton de Tulear Pixie; Red Toy Poodle Pinky; and Toy Poodle Cookie. </p><p>In 2021, Sharon also adopted a stray dog whom she fell in love with while shooting her film <em>Revirginized</em> in Olongapo City, Zambales. <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/11/13/fresh-scoops/watch-sharon-cuneta-introduces-furbabies-explain-189683"></a></p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/11/13/fresh-scoops/watch-sharon-cuneta-introduces-furbabies-explain-189683" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>WATCH: Sharon Cuneta introduces furbabies, explains why all her dogs are ‘hypoallergenic’</strong></a></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/3/18/fresh-scoops/you-are-safe-now-baby-boy-sharon-cuneta-adopts-192346" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: ‘You are safe now, baby boy’: Sharon Cuneta adopts stray dog</strong></a></div><p>Sharon’s post came just a few days after the heartbreaking loss of her daughter Frankie’s pet dog Bea, who passed away last Sunday, November 17, at the age of 16.</p>
