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
Time: 11am to 2pm

For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.

If you are a local business owner help us and in turn we help you. All The Echo asks for is advertising, not a free ride. It is every advert in The Echo and on www.echo.net.au, which creates the space for all the stories and coverage of community events, happenings and concerns.

If you are a reader you can become a sponsor of The Echo. Your support keeps the us independent.

Even a small one-off or regular donation from you will help keep the echo’s independent voice alive and strong.
