About Southeast Snouts
Founded in Jan 2026 to bring together snouts and friends across the Southeast.
Our Origin
Why We Were Founded
It began with a shared frustration: the difficulty of simply finding out what was happening. Whether looking for local meetups or planning trips to neighboring cities, we found ourselves digging through fragmented group chats, buried Facebook posts, and word-of-mouth whispers. There was no single thread connecting our vibrant packs.
We realized the Southeast—spanning from DC to Georgia—was underserved despite its energy and numbers. We saw a need to build a home for every pup and handler, whether they live two minutes from their local bar or two hours away in a quiet town. Our goal was to ensure no one feels isolated or out of the loop simply because of where they live.
Connected Network
Our Mission
In Service of All Pups
"To provide a network that is led, focused, and in service of all pups in the southeast region of the United States, specifically GA, SC, NC, VA, and DC."
As we grow, our goal is to build a larger pup network and help locals connect with one another. We aim to be a foundational group that supports, starts, or invigorates pup packs across the Southeast. We want every pup to find their local pack while feeling part of a much bigger, semi-national network.
Strategy
Sustainable Growth & Regional Packs
Building a specialized network for such a large region is a massive undertaking. To ensure we succeed, we are focusing on sustainable growth through Regional Packs.
- One Region, Several Dens: Southeast Snouts is the regional hub, but each state operates its own "den"—running local events, chats, and resources tailored to that state.
- Starting Strong: We are initially focusing our efforts on building the NC pack, where our leaders are local, to establish a strong, functional blueprint.
- Branching Out: For VA, SC, GA, TN, and DC, our goal is to help launch new groups or partner with existing ones to bring them into the Southeast Snouts network.
How We Connect
We use different platforms to serve different needs, from local chatter to regional events.
The Website
The main interface for our network. This is where you can find events, resources, and filter packs based on your specific region. It serves as the central hub for verified information.
Telegram Announcements
Our regional announcements channel. Subscribe to get updates on events, gatherings, and network news across the entire Southeast in one place.
Regional Pack Telegrams
Best for specialized, local connections. Each state den has its own individualized Telegram channels, plus smaller, local channels led by pups in specific cities (like Tailwags or the Triangle Pup Pack).

Jax
Co-FounderRaleigh, NC
Jax is a Raleigh-based creator, photographer, builder, and founder of Southeast Snouts. He helped create SES to make it easier for pups, pets, handlers, and kink-friendly snouts across the Southeast to find community, build trust, and feel connected to a larger pack. His work with SES focuses on practical community-building: events, resources, virtual spaces, announcements, and tools that help people find their place without having to navigate everything alone. Outside of SES, Jax works on creative projects, photography, web tools, and content as @goodboijax — always with an eye toward making queer community feel more connected, playful, and alive.

Pup Argent
Co-FounderCarrboro, NC
Woof woof! Pup Argent lives in Carrboro, NC. Community is one of Argent's core values, and he is very passionate about bringing people together and creating inclusive spaces. After being a pup for several years and having only recently found a pack, he and the other founding members of the Southeast Snouts recognized a deep need for a larger pup community. Fueled by the desire to help all pups find a pack, he’s now working alongside his other founders to make that goal a reality. In his free time, Argent loves to cook, hike, weight lift, generally spend time outside, and spend way too much time obsessing over science.
