September 2021 Public Mosh
2021-09-04 13:00 - 17:00 | The Saloon, 830 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55403, United States
The North Star Kennel Club is proud to host our September public mosh . This is a public event and is open to all.

NOTE: Proof of vaccination will be required upon entry. Attendees will need to provide documents/vaccine cards that reflect that they have had all shots at least 2 weeks prior to the event. Photos of vaccine cards will be acceptable.
This event is free to NSKC members. A $5 donation is requested but not required from non-members.
The pet community has grown out of the leather community and we come together to celebrate and play. However, human-pet role-play has taken on its own identity with its entry level being low and non-threatening, energizing and rewarding, with treats and toys and no small talk required. Many find it therapeutic.

Come join us! Find out what we’re about. Maybe take off your shoes, get down on your knees and pup out. You don’t need gear, just an open mind.
