Connecticut Pets and Handlers (CT-PAH) is a social group whose mission it is to (1) provide a safe space for our members to learn about and practice pet play in consent-aware environments and (2) produce fundraising events for LGBTQIA+ charities.
We hold monthly events at 168 York St Cafe in New Haven CT that consist of an educational discussion group on some petplay-adjacent topic, a “guarded” puppy mosh, and dance music from a variety of regional DJ acts.
Our mosh is guarded by at least one Handler whose duty it is to make sure pets stay hydrated, to break up heavy roughhousing, and to warn/remove people in the event of consent violation, which we take very seriously.
We are excited to be able to offer a variety of DJ and musical talent from all over the country at each one of our 21+ events, from our monthly CT-PAH Pet Night to our semi-annual Furry Pride Dance Party.
Talent who have performed at our events in the past and in the near future include DJs Khatalyst, Hawk Chaplin, BuckDog, Public School, and CT-PAH staff members DJ PupStar & dj dollmaker.
