Florida Handler 2026

Being a human pup is more than just a kink.  It bleeds into my whole personality. Wags and barks are everyday things. I love attending critter socials where I can share and express that part of me even more, but I'm still a pup outside of those things.
But what does it mean to be Savage? My awakening as a pup occurred in 2019 after seeing my first human pup walking down the street at a pride festival with a sign that said “Free Hugs”. That pup reminded me of the playful, affectionate side of me that was missing. Thinking back, I realized that my playful side and journey as a pup was already manifesting in my adventures as an obstacle course race enthusiast. Yes, being Savage is about being playful and affectionate, but also about being wild and embracing what life has to offer. It can be aggressive or gentle, and turn on a dime. Just watch me in a mosh and you'll catch a glimpse. It's about living and not just existing. It's about enthusiastically connecting with myself and others.
As Florida Puppy 2026 my mission is to show critters that they get to choose who they want to be, and not be limited by what others think their critter should be. My goal is to remind you that you can be Unlimited. Get out there. Imagine, Explore, and Create the You that You want to be.  But it is also about educating those outside the community on what being a pup and critter means, erasing the stereotypes and misinformation about this amazing community. So if you see me out there, say hi and ask me about it, and understand what it means to be Savage every day of your life.
