Pasado's Safe Haven
To Fill The Voids Left Unanswered By Area Shelters By Serving Those Animals Who Fall Through The Cracks.
Description:
Pasado's Safe Haven is one of the premiere animal rescue organizations in the United States, dedicated to 24-hour rescue and rehabilitation of dogs, cats and farm animals. Located on 85 pastoral and wooded acres one hour northeast of Seattle, Washington, the sanctuary is home to hundreds of dogs, cats, cows, chickens, ducks, goats, turkeys, pigs, donkeys and peacocks. Most arrived from abuse or neglect and now live out their lives in peace.
Pasado's Safe Haven has waged numerous prosecutions against animal abusers, winning major convictions. Pasado's Safe Haven offers rewards, through the media, to seek out and prosecute those who have committed heinous acts of animal cruelty. Rescuing animals is only part of the answer - we want to insure that those who hurt animal will never do it again.
Pasado's Safe Haven is dedicated to new and vigorous methods to reduce pet overpopulation. Pasado's Safe Haven operates The Spay Station, the first mobile spay/neuter clinic in Washington State. This state-of-the-art "clinic on wheels" offers free spay/neuter services to the pets of low-income, to whom most unwanted litters of dogs and cats are born. The mobile clinic works in conjunction with "The Aberdeen Spay/Neuter Clinic", our on-site pet sterilization clinic.
History:
April 15th, 2002 marked the 10th anniversary of Pasado's death. Pasado the donkey, the 21-year-old beloved fixture at a Seattle area park died after three teen boys had snuck into Pasado's pasture. They attempted to ride him and when he resisted, they began beating him with tree branches the size of clubs. When he fell and could no longer walk, they tied a noose around his neck and pulled him up a tree, strangling him to death. Workers at the park discovered him hanging from the tree the next morning. That day, Pasado's Safe Haven, was founded.
A new animal cruelty law was coined "The Pasado Law" and it was basic, but good: any intentional act of animal cruelty, would become a Class C felony, the lowest of felonies in Washington State, yet light-years away from the lowest misdemeanor status where the penalty for torturing an animal stood at the time.
Since this first law was past, Pasado's has fought hard to pass 4 more animal cruelty laws.
