SheDogs started in 2004 when Doug Melanson, the owner of SeaDogs, wanted to provide something for women. He turned his north-end building over to some female volunteers at Venus Envy and the rest is herstory. As SheDogs is one of only a few women’s bathhouses in Canada, it gains popularity with each event. SheDogs takes over twice a year, most often for a Valentine’s Day celebration and during Halifax Pride. With sensual mood lighting, the L Word streaming in the lounge, a make-out maven, an erotic reading room and on-site workshops, SheDogs is a sensual experience. After a greeter meets you at the door and explains the rules of the bathhouse, there is a quick tour of the bathhouse to optimize comfort and safety. Women and transfolks are warmly welcome.
