BAY-PAH is looking forward to BLFC 2021, but with community safety our biggest priority, we are choosing not to host events at the con this year. There are several compounding reasons which contributed to our decision. First and foremost is the rise in Delta variant breakthrough COVID-19 cases. 🧬 💉 🦠

This means we will not be hosting any events at the con. This includes a Puppy Mosh, Human Pup Play 101 panel, or other semi-private or public in-room events.

We look forward to hosting events at future cons, supporting cons in other ways, and of course, seeing all of you, our friends! Be Safe, Get Vaccinated and Wear a Mask. ❤️❤️❤️

Meow~Awoo! And a Hello to humans.

Now that we’re out of chocolate, and hopefully done with our tax forms, let’s hang out and get some gaming in!

Please join BAY-PAH & Whiskey Pups for an online Game Night & Chat. We will be hosting the event on Discord. We’ll have the same fun but enhanced with multiple rooms for video conversations.

When: Next Saturday, April 24th, 2021, 5:30PM until 7PM PDT.

Greetings~nyaa! This cat, and the rest of the board, wanted to update you on our plans for BLFC and PAW!

We are coordinating with the organizers of both events to ensure the health and well-being of all involved. Our plans are currently in flux as guidelines are still evolving. It is our hope that we will be able to resume sharing our enthusiasm for all things furry, puppy, and whiskey with a full set of events, parties, gatherings and more.

Have you ever seen a pup down a dram?

Please join BAY-PAH & Whiskey Pup for an online Cocktail Hour+ & Chat.  We will be hosting our Cocktail Hour on Discord.  We’ll have the same fun and drinking but enhanced with multiple rooms for video conversations.

Discord works with most browsers, and they have apps for almost any type of device.  You’ll need to have an email registered with Discord to join this event, so please plan accordingly.  https://discord.com

There are no +1s at this event, please ensure that you have your own ticket.

Happy Howling 2021! This cat hisses at 2020. HISS~!

Please join us for our first event of the new year, a virtual panel at Further Confusion 2021! The panel will run from 4pm – 5pm (PT) on Sunday, January 17th.

It will be a ton of fun! Let’s meow together (or, ahem, “bark” as some of you do…) optimistically for the year ahead.

Woofs, Meows, and Salutations, wonderful puppy community! Purrs and virtually rubs up against all of you

Please join us on Thursday, June 4th at 7PM (Pacific Time) for a panel and social hour! We have selected several pups in the community to share why they enjoy the world of puppy, reminisce on old times, and share how they’ve been pupping out in this strange new world we find ourselves in.

Details on how to join the event will be posted beforehand on the Bay-PAH telegram channel. Stay tuned!

Meow~~~Awoooooooo! <3

Meows, Barks, and other Salutations, gentle Bay-PAH folk –

As you are no doubt aware, the COVID-19 outbreak is a dynamic and evolving situation. As we move closer to BLFC, the Bay-PAH board of directors continues to monitor the situation. At this point in time, we intend to move forward with our BLFC events as planned.

I am sure you have many questions. I’ll meow about some of them:

What Bay-PAH is doing

The health and safety of our attendees is of paramount concern to us. We will be keeping up-to-date with CDC prevention recommendations and the WHO’s advice.

We are staying up-to-date on Reno’s municipal response, Nevada’s state-wide response, GSR’s local response as well as that of BLFC coordinators. Our current decision is to go on with the show, so long as BLFC itself is happening.

We are concerned with the stigma against those who have recently traveled, who are of Asian descent, are emergency or health care providers, or are in any other group who is being hurt by this stigma. Bay-PAH will not tolerate any such behavior toward our guests, our volunteers, or our staff.

What you can do

Wash your paws!

Stay home if you aren’t feeling well!

Keep up-to-date on on advice from the CDC and WHO.

And please remember:

Everyone deserves compassion and respect. We are all on this planet together. COVID-19 doesn’t care who it infects, and we are all potentially at risk. If we help each other stay informed and take appropriate precautions, care for each other, and stand against stigma and predjustice, then we can better protect each other, our communities, and ourselves.

Thanks to William Pham and Mafia Pup for being our photographers! <3

Bay-PAH is a 100% volunteer-run organization. Without your generous support, these awesome Bay-PAH events would not be possible.

As we approach our fifth(!!?) anniversary of Bay-PAH, I look back with awe at how much this community has come together and grown. You guys are awesome!

But we need help. We need some of the extraordinary members of this community to step up and join us in navigating this journey.

Want to help us out? That would be amazing! Please see here for more details: Bay-PAH Needs Your Help!

Please either contact us on Telegram, or use our Contact Form to let us know you want to volunteer!

Thank you! Awwoooooooo~~~~(meow) :3
