In honor of the recently ended Suicide Awareness Month, the SEA-PAH team has created a mental health resource list. Please visit at: https://seapah.com/public/pages/Mental-Health-Resources for the full statement and document.

 

Elections

Calling all dogs, handlers and all in between! 

Have you been wanting to be more involved in SEA-PAH? Want to help plan, build and create a stronger community? Now’s your chance! Starting in December, SEA-PAH will begin to vote on a new board which means you can take an active role in the community. 

If you want to nominate yourself (or another person) SEA-PAH will be accepting nominations from the community from October 1-31st. In order to be eligible to be voted upon in December, the nominee must be a current SEA-PAH member. Nominate yourself or a member here.

We look forward to watching our community grow with new members and ideas 💡
 

Events:

BEST IN SHOW

Best in Show returns! It's a royal rumble between SEA-PAH and PDX-PAH! Save the date, this showdown is happening November 12! More details are coming soon. 

While we wait on those, we are looking for interested folks who would like to be on stage performing a lip sync, stand up acts, or skits to name a few ideas. Volunteering is no small feat, and volunteers will need to be able to commit to practice on their own time so they’re ready on November 12. If you’re interested email us what you’d like to perform at volunteer@seapah.org.
 

SEA-PAH gets Unleashed February 18, 2023! Unleashed, SEA-PAHs annual kink tasting event, is finally able to return after quarantine! More details will be available in December/January, but if you know you want to be an instructor email us at volunteer@seapah.org.

Upon election to fill the vacancy, the Director shall serve for the unexpired term.” We would like to announce Pup Tye (formerly known as Pup Salty) as our newest member of the Board of Directors. Tye will serve for the remainder of Wolver’s term, which ends January 2024.
