Midwest Puppy and Handler Contest
At the Midwest Pet and Handler Contest, our mission is to cultivate a safe, inclusive, and nurturing space for the pet play community. We are committed to fostering diversity, equity, and belonging while promoting education, awareness, and positive change within our unique and vibrant community.
Our primary goal is to select a titleholder who will serve as a dedicated community representative. This titleholder will champion the values of respect, understanding, and acceptance, advocating for the rights and well-being of all individuals who identify with or support the pet play lifestyle.
Through our contest, we aim to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and provide a platform for open dialogue and learning. We believe in the power of unity and empathy to strengthen our community, raise awareness, and promote understanding. Together, we strive to create a space where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered to be their authentic selves.
