Please join us in celebrating our very first Port Rover President... drum roll, please... Mr. RUDY! Also known as Cutie Rudy, Cute Patootie, and Old Man Rudster, Rudy is ready to work for treats and won’t take “no” for an answer! He will officially take office immediately.
Rudy will have some paw-some support from his Vice President, Mr. Boomer, affectionately known as "Boom for Change," and our Speaker of the Dog House, Mr. Boone—the GSP with a heart of gold and boundless energy to help maintain order and harmony.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the parents who participated in this year’s election. Your love and effort made this campaign truly special! All participants will have prizes waiting for them at Port Rover this Friday.
Congratulations to our winners! Our staff is excited to work with each of you as we move forward together with progress and change. Remember, it’s of the dogs, by the dogs! 🐾❤️
