About OttawaPups
OttawaPups is an adult-only social community for pups, handlers, and pup-adjacent folks in Ottawa and the surrounding area.
We exist to create welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can connect, socialize, and explore pup play in a respectful, consent-forward environment. Whether you’re brand new, long-time involved, or simply curious, OttawaPups is about community first.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster a fun, supportive, and inclusive pup community in Ottawa by hosting social events that prioritize consent, safety, and connection.
We believe pup play can be playful, expressive, and joyful — while still being organized, respectful, and accessible.
What We Do
OttawaPups hosts a variety of adult social events, including:
- Casual socials and meet-and-greets
- Pup moshes and themed events
- Community gatherings and special events
Our events are designed to give people the freedom to engage at their own comfort level — whether that means socializing, playing, observing, or just meeting others in the community.
Who Our Events Are For
OttawaPups welcomes:
- Pups of all experience levels
- Handlers
- Curious newcomers
- Allies and pup-adjacent community members
You don’t need gear, a defined role, or prior experience to attend. All we ask is that you come with respect for others, their boundaries, and the community.
Consent & Safer Spaces
Consent and safety are core values of OttawaPups.
We maintain clear expectations at all events and enforce a Code of Conduct that applies to everyone. Mutual respect, personal boundaries, and privacy are essential to creating spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves.
Pride & Inclusion
OttawaPups proudly supports and uplifts the LGBTQIA+ community. We welcome people of all genders, sexualities, races, body types, and abilities.
Our goal is to build a community that feels safe, affirming, and fun for everyone who joins us.
