Every dog has their day (5th April)

Love dogs? Don’t mind a brew or two? Put Saturday, 5 April in your calendar right now and get yourself along to Stone & Wood in Byron Bay for Dog Adoption Day, proudly in partnership with Willow Tree Sanctuary.

Whether you’re looking to adopt, thinking about fostering, or just want to come down for a furry cuddle and chat, everyone is welcome. From 11am to 2pm, Stone & Wood’s Tasting Room will be filled with the bestest boys and goodest girls when Willow Tree Sanctuary brings along a bunch of their gorgeous rescue doggos looking for forever homes or foster families!

‘We’re thrilled to support Willow Tree Sanctuary with another Dog Adoption Day at Stone & Wood. The Willow Tree team contributes so much to the community with animal rescue, rehabilitation, rehoming and education. If you’ve been thinking about getting a new best friend and can offer one of these doggos a good home, we hope to see you on Saturday April 5,’ said Stone & Wood’s Jess Flynn.

‘If you’ve been thinking about adopting or providing foster care for animals please come along to Stone & Wood on April 5. Willow Tree Sanctuary’s foster carers are our life blood. Each one is a treasured and valued member of our team,’ said Kate Morris, Co-Founder of Willow Tree Santuary.

100 Mile Table will be whipping up some tasty pup-cakes for our four-legged visitors, while the humans can kick back with a cold beer and a delicious lunch in the courtyard.

And here’s something extra special—throughout April, $1 from every litre of beer sold at the Stone & Wood bar will go directly to Willow Tree Sanctuary. These legends work tirelessly to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome both farmed and domestic animals in need.

So come on down, enjoy a beer, meet some adorable pups and maybe even find your new best mate. We can’t wait to see you there!

Where: Stone & Wood Tasting Room, Byron Bay
When: Saturday, April 5
