Cairo
0012
Firstly he’s an exceptionally good looking chap, friendly with all humans and dogs. When taking him out he’s always the centre of attention (he loves that) and everybody wants to pet him. One girl even wanted to take him home with her. He’s like that - especially with the ladies. So if it’s a K9 mayor you’re looking for, an adorable boy with unending affection, Cairo is your boy.

I would like to be Mayoress as I am quite vocal, a bit bossy and tell it like it is. A furry politician. I am also very sweet and love my mum and brother.

Suri
0015
She's 11 years old and very polite, yet effective about addressing what she does and doesn't like. Her personality is queen like so being the mayor won't be too hard for her. She's been a west aucklander her whole life and would love to advocate more for the dog's here. More poop bins! more access to bush and beach walks too! More dog friendly dining locations! Dog's are family and should be accepted more into everyday life with their human parents. As the K9 mayor of west auckland she wants every dog to feel welcome in this community and address any grievances they have paws on!

Casey
0017
"My Fellow Pets and People..." – A Campaign Speech by Casey the Dog clears throat, adjusts imaginary tie
My fellow furry friends... and beloved humans,
I stand — well, sit, but alertly — before you today, tail wagging with pride, to announce my candidacy for Mayor. I've spent my entire life serving this community the only way I know how: with licks, love, and the occasional politely stolen sock or sandwich.
I believe in equality, all dogs, all humans, even cats (yes, even the cat from next door who hisses at me for no reason) — deserve kindness, belly rubs, and a place at the food bowl.
If elected, I promise to:
Serve the people with wet-nosed dedication
Welcome pats and cuddles from constituents of all ages
Make tail wags the official unit of happiness
And implement a 3-treat minimum per household, daily
Now, full transparency: I am known for escaping. Whether left home alone or "helping" Dad at work, I just love meeting the public too much to stay put. That’s why I’m pushing for universal doggy daycare, because no adventurous pup should be penalized for wanting to kiss every single voter in the face.
So sniff deeply, follow your heart, and remember:
A vote for Casey is a vote for unconditional love, community licks, and open access to tummy rubs.
Together, we can build a brighter, barkier future.
*tail thump*

Sticker
0021
Sticker for Mayor!
Hi, I’m Sticker — a shy but kind-hearted beagle who’s swapped the quiet farmlands of Whanganui for the big city streets of West Auckland. City life is ruff, but I’m learning fast! If I win, I’ll get to go to daycare, make new furry friends, and maybe even stop being scared of the vacuum cleaner. I promise to lead with kindness, share my snacks (sometimes), and bring tail wags, teamwork, and treats to every corner of the city. Vote Sticker — the underdog with a big heart and even bigger ears!

Jade stands for all the dogs who have been misunderstood, showing that with guidance, patience, and aroha, every pup can shine. If chosen as K9 Mayor, Jade would champion togetherness, celebrate every wag, and make sure every paw in the city feels seen, safe, and loved.

Daisy
0041
Daisy is a natural K9 Mayor. She is the boss of our household, and she loves routine. She is also very nosey, and spends hours looking out the front window at home. She likes to know everything that goes on in the neighborhood and she is a very active neighborhood watch girl. She has a very keen eye for spotting cats. She has the best hearing ever, although she is sometimes very good at practicing her selective hearing. However her malfunctioning ears always hear the words beach, park, walk or treats. Daisy is a very active girl with lots of energy and personality. She would definitely be a good candidate for the job.
Daisy is a rescue girl. We adopted her from Saving Hope Foundation when she was six months old. Before we got her, her Foster Parents (now her official grandparents) used to take her to Pets in the City at Silverdale once a week.
Vote Daisy for K9 Mayor!
