NYC Dog Mayor Campaign Spotlight: Rooster the Wheaten Terrier!

Neighborhood: Lower Manhattan

Bio: Rooster is a three-year-old Wheaten Terrier living in the greatest city in the world, and he’s not afraid to ruffle a few feathers to prove it. He may look like an ordinary dog, but he’s extraordinary at giving the wheaten greetin’, the biggest hello you’ll ever receive, no clucking around.

Nicknamed the “poor man’s dog” in 18th-century Ireland, the Wheaten was a farmer’s cheap, all-purpose answer to the gentry’s fancy dogs, built to herd, guard, and hunt vermin. Rooster is tapping into that ancestral resilience for change: free doggy daycare & healthcare to cut monthly costs, no more glass on our streets so paws stay safe, doggy water fountains + treat stations on every block so no dogs go thirsty or hungry, and poop bags on every corner (you’re welcome, humans).

This isn’t just a campaign — it’s a wake-up call to bring even more heart and spirit to a city that already has so much. From the coop to City Hall, Rooster’s ready to rise with the whole community by his side.

Who knew I look like 19th US president Rutherford Hayes!? Our beard game is strong.
Fun fact: President Hayes had quite the number of dogs and other kinds of pets!
