Therapy Dogs
Hi my name is Ponto. I just turned 10 years old but I act like I’m 2 or 3. I love coming to Pacific View to hang out with all of the great students. They give me a lot of attention and are always petting me, they say that it calms them down. I have a good friend at the school named Kiedis. We have shared classroom attention together, gone on a cruise together and hung out in Mr. Merrill’s office. My favorite thing to do it chase the tennis ball and be at the beach. I do apologize for my bad breathe.
Hello, I am Daisy. I am a black lab and am one and a half years old. I was returned by my first owners. However, I got lucky because now I get to come to school with Mr. Weeks and hang out with the high school and middle school kids. I love wandering around the classroom and having the 7th and 8th graders pet me. When I am at home I like to play with my best friend, Nolan, and go on walks. I am pretty calm for a puppy but every once in awhile I need to get some of that puppy energy out by sprinting around in circles. I am learning a lot as a therapy dog in training.
Hi everyone! My name is Evie. I am a two years old Cavalier. I was a very hyper little puppy, but I have mellowed out since then. My mom is Kasandra Smith. I really love going to school with mom to spend the day sleeping under her desk. I also love pets, so please feel free to pet me, but be prepared as I may give you some kisses (licks) back. I really like it when someone scratches my chin. I also love doing tricks, especially for treats. Ask mom about my new trick which is begging on two legs.
They call me Kiedis the Beagle and I’m 9 years old. My Dad adopted me from the Humane Society when I was a crazy little puppy. Since then I have matured and earned my PhD in sleep development and napping. I also hold a Masters in food discovery and devouring. I like coming to school so I can meet new students. When I’m not at school I like to sleep on the couch or relax at the dog beach.
Hi! Nice to meet you! My name is Skippy. My family rescued me in March 2012 from a shelter. They don’t know exactly how old or what breed I am, and I am not telling. I’m a perfect fit for my human family – I am friendly and gentle. When they first met me, I had an injured leg. Mom and Dad thought I was limping, my boys thought I was skipping. So now you know why I am “Skippy”. I was a little timid when I was first rescued, oh and a little stinky too – I had a disagreement with a skunk. But with the love of the Pak family I have become an outgoing dog who loves everyone I meet. I really enjoy a good pet, just saying. I love coming to work and getting the extra attention from the staff and students.
Hello there, my name is Sir Spencer. I am 5 years old but sometimes I act like a puppy. I am lucky enough to be a part of the Meck family. My mom, Mrs. Meck, is the Lead Teacher in the K8 Department. I am, by far, the most handsome West Highland Terrier, or, Westie for short. I like to visit the K8 classes – those kids know how to pet! When I am at home, my favorite things to do are snuggle with blankets, play with my toys and go for walks. I am often a little naughty but shhh, don’t tell my mom.
Hi my name is Lola. My owner is Gina Campbell, she runs the school. Her daughter, Chrissy, rescued me when they came to visit the Escondido Humane Society. I am five years old now. They have been my family for four years. They take me places with them because I am such a good girl when I am in public. When I have my toy I love to run and have people chase me. Playing is my favorite thing. I enjoy coming to school with Gina and meeting all the students. It makes me happy when students stop and pet or talk to me. So when you see me on campus come over and say “hi”.
Hi my name is Karli, I am 4 years old. My mom is a golden retriever and my dad is a standard poodle so I am what’s known as golden doodle. I am really loving and very smart. I did pass my Good Citizen test on the first try and am one of the therapy dogs at Pacific View. I love coming to school to be around students because my favorite thing next to a good squeaky toy is people. When I get home after a busy day at school, I love to go to the dog park or the beach and play fetch. I love to run and retrieve the ball and bring it back to anyone who will throw it for me. When you see me at school come up and say hi and make sure you pet me because I love that too.
