About SEA-PAH
Who We Are
Welcome to Seattle Pups and Handlers (SEA-PAH), a vibrant community dedicated to celebrating the bond between human-pets, handlers, and those who appreciate them. Whether you’ve been in the community for a while or are simply curious about the human-pet and human-pup lifestyle, we’re here to foster inclusivity, diversity, fun, and education in the Seattle area and beyond.
SEA-PAH is a 501(c)(7) social club based in Seattle, Washington, serving the pup play and handler community of the Pacific Northwest.
Our Mission
The purposes of Seattle Pups and Handlers are to promote the human-pup lifestyle; to organize social activities for its members; to educate its members and the public about human-pups and their handlers; and to raise funds for local charities and the wider human-pup community.
From the SEA-PAH Bylaws.
We create a supportive environment where human-pets and their handlers can connect, share experiences, and engage in social activities. We raise awareness and educate both members and the wider public about the unique dynamics of human-pet relationships, and contribute to charitable causes that support both our community and local organizations.
Join us as we build connections, share our passions, and promote the joy and camaraderie of the human-pet and human-pup world. We look forward to getting to know you - Bark!
History
SEA-PAH was founded in 2012 to fill a need for a dedicated, organized community space for pups and handlers in Seattle. Since then, we have grown into an active club with regular events, a welcoming membership, and strong ties to the broader Pacific Northwest leather and kink community.
The Board
SEA-PAH is led by an elected volunteer board.
501(c)(7) Status
SEA-PAH is organized as a 501(c)(7) social club under US tax law. As a nonprofit social club, we operate for the enjoyment and benefit of our members, not for profit.
