Teachers' Pets

The staff at Garrison-Jones loves animals! We believe that empathy, responsibility for animals, and community involvement are important lessons. These life skills are detailed in the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards: HE.4.B.2.1 and SS.2.C.2.2.



Here are some local shelters and animal rescue organizations:
Suncoast Animal League
Humane Society of Pinellas
Dunedin Doggie Rescue
Rugaz Rescue

Brookstone, Tank & Oden
Tank is a loving and devoted girl who thinks she is part human and part dog. Tank’s best quality is probably her desire to give kisses.

Brookstone was adopted by Mrs. Lofstedt and her husband in 2006. Brookstone’s neatest features are his front paws – perfectly white and mitten-like thanks to his extra claws that look like thumbs!

The newest addition to the family is Oden. Mrs. Lofstedt saw him in the cage at PetSmart in July 2010, and it was love at first sight! Oden is sleek like a jaguar, and is long and lean, weighing in at 14 pounds, and extending more than 36” when stretched out! He is young and energetic, loves his pats at bedtime, and loves showing off his ability to jump to the highest points in the house without much effort at all!

Butters and Cubscout Hecht
Butters Hecht a.k.a. Señor Bite Bite was adopted from the SPCA. He is 4 years old and loves wrestling with his brother Cubby, jumping off of bookshelves, walking across the piano, and catnip mice. His favorite foods are crunchies, raw shrimp, and tuna.

Cubscout Hecht a.k.a. Cubby was also adopted from the SPCA. Cubs is 3 years old, and just like Butters, has a little S tattooed in his ear. Cubs loves to nap in the laundry, and fur up all of the clothes. Cubby is a very good singer.

Bailey, CocoPuff & Sookie Wireman
Bailey is a long-haired mini Dachshund. Her humans, the Wiremans, found out about her from a friend. Bailey needed a new home because her old home had too many dogs. She is a sweet princess and like most dachshunds, loves to burrow under the blankets in the big bed.

The Wiremans loved Bailey so much, they wanted to get another dog exactly like her, so they found CocoPuff. Coco's favorite thing to do is chase toys. She also likes to announce her presence to the whole neighborhood when she exits the house for a walk, and all of the other neighborhood dogs start barking too!

Since the Wiremans loved Bailey and CocoPuff so much, they added one more Dachshund, Sookie (rhymes with cookie). Sookie is learning how to be a big girl from her sisters.

Both Bailey and CocoPuff have their own Facebook pages, and probably have more friends than most humans. Sookie is not old enough yet to have her own Facebook.

pets_mills
Marty and MacDuff Mills
Marty is a 13 inch beagle. He was adopted by Ms. Scotty and her family. He's always trotting and never walking! He joins MacDuff who was born in 2001 in Ontario, Canada. MacDuff enjoys sleeping and he also likes to sleep. Did we mention he sleeps a lot?

Toby, a 13-year-old Shih Tzu, was the runt when he was a baby. He is blind, has a heart condition and moves a little slow now, but his humans, the Woodworth Family, love him very much!
