Over the course of his growth within the pet community he has a passion for promoting inclusion and creating safe spaces so that everyone is able to experience the pet and handler community.

He is also working to bring additional visibility to Female-Identified, ENBY, or Trans Critters and Handlers with Let’s Make F.E.T.C.H Happen.

One thing that Daddy Nick wants you to know is that regardless of how you identify, what kinks you are into, or what scenes you are a part of, is that you matter and You Are Welcome Here.
