Pet Election 2022
The results are in!
Please join us in welcoming Benjamin, PoCo’s next Pet Ambassador!
Over the course of the month, our five candidates competed with each other in a light-hearted campaign to earn votes . As the pet with the most votes, Benjamin will have the opportunity to represent the pets of PoCo at various events. With a big personality and a penchant for belly rubs, we think he will make an excellent ambassador!
We would also like to award Odie the PoCo Spirit Award, in recognition of the enthusiasm and dedication to PoCo he demonstrated throughout the campaign. Congratulations Odie!
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s election. We had many wonderful candidates!

Pet Ambassador Candidates
Isaac

What makes Isaac special?: Isaac is the kindest dog you’ll ever meet, there is not a single mean bone in his body. He is nice to all animals (except squirrels when they are digging in the garden) and all humans. He’s great at capturing people’s hearts wherever he goes with a head tilt and a nub wiggle. He also tries his hardest at everything he does, even if it’s something he’s not the greatest at. He loves all the activities he does, and earns ribbons frequently at dog sport trials (his favourites are agility and nose work!).
