Contestants 2027

Passionate about being a protector, an ally, an educator, and a confidant, I am happy to serve as both a cautionary example of the pervasive nature of trauma and stand as a beacon of hope in acknowledging, accepting, understanding and overcoming it. My unique experience of reckoning with my past has given me the drive to promote a better future for our community. I plan to use this opportunity to bring about positive changes that will make our community safer, more welcoming, egalitarian, engaging and enjoyable for all.

Handler Alistar Hawk Aensland entered the BDSM community in 2015 alongside their partner, Boy Luis, quickly immersing themselves in regional group events and FPE by 2018. A passionate community builder, Alistar founded Pups and Allies of Chattanooga (PAC) in May 2022—a casual, gaming-focused space for pups and allies—before relocating to Florida. In November 2024, they established The Hounds of Southwest Florida to elevate visibility and awareness for the pup and handler community across the SWFL region. Stepping into the role of producer for FETCH in October 2025, Alistar began organizing dedicated pup events across the greater St. Petersburg area. After successfully navigating FETCH's transition to its new home at Alphabet Soup in Gulfport in February 2026, the event evolved into The Pack. Today, Alistar continues to expand this thriving community, collaborating with fellow regional pup groups to inspire, unite, and grow the local leather and pup alternative lifestyle scenes.

Pup Freki is a fun loving, nerdy Pup on the verge of hitting the big 40 and has been with his adorkable husband, Pup Xali for almost 13 years now. This pup can always be found playing in a ballpit, singing at Puppy-oke or just dancing and cuddling with all the other pups. When Freki is not in headspace his hobbies include anything strategy based. He greatly enjoys DnD, MTG, doing escape rooms, and playing both video and board games. Truly he just loves a good challenge! Freki participates in the pup community as a co-producer and an Admin of P.A.C.K. (Paws Advocating Community and Kinship). He uses these positions to organize and participate in several local monthly events that supports and helps encourage new and existing pups that wish to become more active in the critter communities. Freki's overall main goal is to always be a helping paw for all in need and share his love for the pup community by motivating and inspiring others. He hopes to accomplish this by being a role model and leader in the community and providing environments and safe spaces for all paws so they can explore and unleash their inner selves free of all judgment or fear.

​Scribbles is a nonbinary pup from Jacksonville, Florida, who brings a splash of yellow and purple wherever they go. Equal parts good pup and lovable troublemaker, they accept all pronouns.

For Scribbles, pup play is about more than putting on a hood. It’s a place to let go, be silly, find connection, and experience the kind of uncomplicated joy that can be hard to find in everyday life. They love head scritches, praise, cuddles, making new friends, causing minor amounts of chaos, and finding new ways to make the people around them smile.

Scribbles is passionate about helping build a pup community where everyone feels like they have a place regardless of gender, sexuality, body, experience level, or what being a pup looks like for them. Through FETCH and the North Florida pup community, they hope to create more opportunities for pups and pets to meet, play, learn, and simply belong.

Bright, curious, loyal, and occasionally impossible to keep out of trouble, Scribbles believes there’s room in this world for a little more play, a little more kindness, and a whole lot more puppy.
