Wine range doing its bit for homeless dogs

Calling all dog lovers who enjoy an affordable red wine.

Sit Stay Society Wines has just launched its new range - the Big Dogs - with.50c from every bottle purchased going to animal welfare organisation PetRescue.

The range includes: Sigurd’s Shiraz 2021 (Langhorne Creek), Teddy’s Tempranillo 2021 (Adelaide Hills) and Chester’s Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (Langhorne Creek). 

The elegant and very varietal cabernet is the star of the show - and excellent midweek drinking. The bigger shiraz will also have fans for its bucaneering style. 

Following the initial launch of Sit Stay Society's half bottle wine range in 2020, the new 750ml formats are designed for those with a more compelling thirst.

Sit Stay Society donates from every bottle purchased to PetRescue. To date, Sit Stay Society has raised more than $200,000 for PetRescue.

PetRescue’s data over the last two years highlights that dogs of bigger breeds take 58% longer than small dogs to find a new home once they arrive in shelters or foster care.

The new range emphasises the importance of supporting organisations like PetRescue to educate and engage pet seekers about the joys of bringing a big dog home as a family pet.

“PetRescue has grown to be an immensely helpful tool for connecting shelters and rescue organisations with people looking to adopt a pet," says Vickie Davy, PetRescue founder and director.

"The support of Sit Stay Society Wines ensures we can continue to invest in technology that gets pets into homes faster.

“Big dogs currently spend longer in shelters than smaller dogs, which is a difficult environment for a pet to be in. We are excited to extend our partnership with Sit Stay Society Wines and to encourage people to consider adopting big dogs!”

The Sit Stay Society Big Dog range will be available in store and online at Dan Murphy’s (RRP $15.99). See www.sitstaysocietywines.com.au.
