🐾 There’s a Pickens running for office! 🐾
Meet "Ruffles Puffles", Dr. Pickens’ beloved Shetland Sheepdog and official candidate for Dog Mayor!
Ruffles is campaigning as part of a DECA project led by Dr. Pickens’ daughter, Haley—and we think her platform is pretty hard to argue with:
🐶 A Canine for Hounds & Humans.
✨ No Drama. Just Floof.
At nine years old, Ruffles brings maturity, a pawsitive attitude, and years of experience making humans smile. 😉
And the best part? Your vote supports a great cause. Votes are cast through donations benefiting the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society.
Vote through Sept 18th through this link: https://wa-camas-lite.intouchreceipting.com/DECA-AllPawsOnDeck
Help Haley support our local Humane Society—and maybe help put a little Pickens floof in office. 🐾❤️
