June 2023 HOWL

It’s pride month! During this time of celebration don’t forget how this all started. Pride started as a riot led by trans women of color. There is no LGB without the T+.

Camp K9

    At the Best in Show Event this past November, the Board of Directors announced the RETURN of SEA-PAH's most popular and dearly missed events: CAMP K9! We have secured a new venue at Elkamp, a private campground that granted us the use of their entire space with plenty of room to host the pup community! We are calling for volunteers, event planners, and folks who want to attend! Come join us and help make this event the best it can be!

We are also very excited to bring back the yearly raffle at Camp K9. We want to hear from you about what sponsors you would like to see at Camp. Maybe you do some craft project or know someone else who does projects that would like to donate a few items to the raffle. We are looking forward to hearing from you. If you have suggestions, please email sponsors@seapah.org

 

 The Camp K9 Planning Telegram Committee and Chat has been busy working to make sure this trip is unforgettable!  If you have an interest in joining the committee as we plan this amazing event, please click the link below!

Kitties, Puppies, Ponies - OH MY!

Handlers 101 class

Sunday, July 2nd 1pm - 3pm

Gallery Erato, 309 1st Ave S. Seattle

 

Have you ever seen a group of puppies playing on mats and curious how to join them? Or maybe you've witnessed a human pony being led around a play space and you've been eager to learn how to handle a pony. This class, taught by former SEA-PAH president Courtney Jo, will dive into exploring how to handle different human animals that you may encounter. Primarily a lecture/discussion based class, there will be hands-on experience for handling, if we have willing pets join us. This class is open to all levels of experience with Handling on either side of the slash.

***Pets not provided, but treats will be.
