November 2023 Public Mosh
2023-11-04 15:00 - 18:00 | The Saloon, 830 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55403, United States
The North Star Kennel Club is proud to host our November public mosh . This is a public event and is open to all.

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.

North Star Kennel Club is group of human-pups, pets, handlers, and people curious about pet play in Minnesota and the Midwest. We are based out of Minneapolis and strive to educate people about pup play and provide a comfortable, accessible, and safe place to enjoy it.
