There’s something special happening down at Papa (Port Admiral Hotel) — and it’s got tails wagging across Port Adelaide! We’re proud to launch Dog Days at Papa, a new series of breed-specific events and social days out designed for dog lovers and their furry best mates.
In partnership with the amazing team at Scruffer Lovers, a local dog rescue dedicated to giving every dog a second chance, we’re combining good food, good fun, and good deeds — all in one dog-friendly space.
Whether your pup is a goofy Golden, a brainy Border, or a Staffy with a heart of gold, there’s a date just for you.
🗓 Upcoming Dog Days – Save the Dates!
Each Dog Day celebrates a different beloved breed — but all friendly dogs (and well-behaved humans) are welcome to join.
🐾 Golden Retrievers & Labradors Day
Sunday, June 15th
For the happy-go-lucky legends of the dog park. Tennis balls and treats await!
🐾 Border Collie Day

Brains, energy, and a love for community – just like their humans!
❤️ Meet the Scruffer Lovers Crew
As part of our commitment to supporting rescue and adoption, we’re hosting Scruffer Lovers Meet & Greets throughout the year. Come down, meet some of their adorable adoptables, and chat with the rescue team about fostering, adopting, or supporting their work.
📍 Meet & Greet Dates at the Port Admiral Hotel Courtyard:
Saturday, 25 May
Saturday, 20 July
Saturday, 21 September
Saturday, 23 November
You might just meet your new best friend.
🍽 What’s on the Menu?
We’re also our Papa Pooch Menu — full of dog-safe delights that are sure to please even the pickiest snouts. From pup-friendly treats to hydration stations and shaded chill zones, we’ve got everything covered for a day out with your four-legged family.
🎉 Why It Matters
Every Dog Day helps raise awareness and funds for Scruffer Lovers, supporting their rescue work, rehoming efforts, and ongoing care for dogs in need. So when you come along, grab a coffee, a cold one, or a pup-friendly snack — you’re making tails wag in more ways than one.
📌 Location
The Port Admiral Hotel
Commercial Road, Port Adelaide
Dog-friendly courtyard & pup-loving crew!
So leash up, get down to Papa, and be part of something tail-waggingly wonderful.
Because when dogs, community, and a good cause come together — everyone wins. 🐾
