The Stay Foundation will be at Merewether Markets at Dixon Park Beach on Saturday 18 October 2025 from 9am to 2pm.

We are so ready for the sunshine, music and great vibes by the beach!

Not only will we be talking to the public about what we do, but we will also be providing information on our subsidised community desexing program to those that need a hand in getting their pets desexed.

We will also be selling Underdog Coffee where every cup helps a pup with a percentage of the sales on the day going directly to The Stay Foundation! Oh and we will also have some crafty goodies (dog and cat themed of course) and will be taking donations to top up our vet care program pot.

Come say hi, enjoy the Markets, and help us make a difference for families and their pets.
