Camberwell cafe The Old Garage has made quite the name for itself with its progressive, plant-driven menu, which offers vegan options for every single dish. And this month, it's celebrating its first birthday in the most fitting way possible — with a big day of animal-friendly fun.

Join in the block party shenanigans from 11am on Saturday, March 6, when chef and co-owner Prince Dib fires up the barbecue for a vegan feast featuring snags from Ascot Vale's The Kynd Butcher. It'll taste good and feel good, with all profits going to support the New Life For Animals Rehoming Centre.

Then, from 2–4pm, it's your pooch's time to shine, thanks to a free photo studio shoot taking happy snaps of the day's four-legged guests. And as always, there'll be plenty of puppuccinos on offer, with proceeds from each of the dog-friendly drinks heading to local no-kill animal shelters and sanctuaries, like Loki's Lodge in Derrinal.
