Day Of The Dogs!
Voting is Open for the 2025 Dog Mayor Election!
It’s that exciting time of year again — the annual Dog Mayor Election is officially underway as part of All Paws on Deck (APOD), the community street fair hosted by Camas DECA in support of the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society (WCGHS).
Each year, local pups campaign for the coveted title of Dog Mayor of Camas, and the community gets to decide who takes home the crown. Every donation is a vote, with 100% of proceeds going directly to WCGHS to help animals in need. That means your support not only helps your favorite furry candidate climb the leaderboard — it also provides food, shelter, and care for countless rescue pets.
Here’s how it works:
Meet the 2025 candidates with our online voting link and learn their “pup-litical” platforms.
Cast your vote (or votes — there’s no limit!) by donating in their name.
Share the election with family and friends to rally even more support.
Celebrate with us at the All Paws on Deck event on September 20th in Downtown Camas, where the new Dog Mayor will be officially crowned!
Voting is open now, so don’t wait! Pick your favorite pup, cast your vote, and help us raise funds for an amazing cause.

THE EVENT
After raising $13,000 for the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society in 2024, Camas DECA is more inspired than ever to make this year’s event our biggest and best yet. With your continued support, we’re ready to bring the community together once again for a day full of local vendors, family-friendly activities, crafts, games, food, and the ever-popular Dog Mayor election!
Congratulations to Njola, the 2024 All Paws on Deck Dog Mayor! Archie raised thousands of dollars for the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society, all of which will go to support local animals.
Njola narrowly placed second last year in the most highly contested Camas Dog Mayoral race in history. As a rescue from the Las Vegas Animal Shelter after living on the streets of Las Vegas, Njola has earned much respect and street cred from other dogs in the PNW.
Camas DECA would also like to congratulate our first runner up, Beau!
This year, All Paws on Deck is once again teaming up with Hike on the Dike to fundraise for the West Columbia Gorge Humane Society (WCGHS)!
