Good news for dog lovers and beer lovers alike: Dog Adoption Day is heading back to Stone & Wood! The Byron Bay brewery is once again teaming up with Willow Tree Sanctuary for a feel-good Saturday filled with wagging tails, cold beers and plenty of pats.
From 11am to 2pm on Saturday, 14 March, the Stone & Wood Tasting Room will be taken over by a pack of very good dogs on the lookout for their forever homes. Visitors will have the chance to meet a gorgeous crew including Eddie, Basil, Carmen, River, Rubble and Pumpkin, each with their own pup personality and plenty of love to give.
Whether you’re ready to adopt, thinking about fostering or just keen to meet a few four-legged locals and learn more about animal rescue, everyone’s welcome. The Willow Tree Sanctuary team will be on hand throughout the day to chat through the adoption process and help match dogs with the right homes.
It’s a relaxed, community-minded afternoon where visitors can enjoy lunch and a fresh brew in the courtyard, get to know the dogs, and maybe even leave with plans to foster or adopt one of these four-legged legends.
Stone & Wood Brewing Co.’s, Kurtis Day says the brewery is stoked to once again team up with Willow Tree Sanctuary for a Dog Adoption Day. ‘The entire crew at Willow Tree do incredible work for our community, including rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals, while also sharing their knowledge through education. If you’ve been considering welcoming a new addition to your family and can offer one of these pups a loving home, swing by the brewery.’
Co-Founder of Willow Tree Santuary, Kate Morris, says they are so pleased to be able to join with Stone & Wood again for the annual Pups & Pints Adoption Day. ‘If people are considering adding a new fur-friend to their family, or have been thinking about helping a vulnerable animal by becoming a foster carer, come down to Stone & Wood and meet the team and learn how.’
And because doing good is always better when we do it together, $1 from every litre of beer sold at the Stone & Wood bar throughout April will be donated directly to Willow Tree Sanctuary, helping support their ongoing work caring for animals in need.
So come on down, enjoy a beer, meet some adorable pups and maybe even find your new best mate.
