  • This space is provided to help all in attendance to explore and enjoy the Human Pet scene. Those who share our space need to be aware that there may be blatant displays of kink and sexuality as well as physical contact. If this kind of open environment is of concern, we would recommend that you not participate in the main mosh.
  • If you have concerns about consent or possible violations afer you have indicated to a fellow mosher that you do not wish to engage, please contact any mosh guard.
  • We will provide a non physical mosh space outside of the main room of the mosh.  This space is for those that request no physical contact, but can play in headspace with other pups/pets using balls, toys and pup/pet voices.
