Pasado’s Safe Haven is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Sultan, Washington, that operates as an animal rescue and sanctuary. Founded in 1997 in memory of a donkey who suffered abuse, the organization aims to end animal cruelty through rescue, care, and sanctuary for vulnerable animals. It focuses on victims of cruelty and neglect, animals living with families lacking access to critical services, and those whose survival hinges on legislative or policy changes. Its programs also aim to educate the public about preventing animal suffering and to give victim animals a second chance at life. Within the nonprofit sector, the organization emphasizes rescue and welfare for vulnerable animals affected by cruelty, with attention to the broader social context in which animals live. It has expanded its operations over time, including investments in sanctuary facilities and leadership updates such as the appointment of a new executive director in 2024. The group was recognized by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries as the Outstanding Farmed Animal Sanctuary of 2021, reflecting its standing within the field. In recent years it has pursued collaborations and partnerships, including a 2025 agreement with PawWire to support rescue and rehabilitation for animals impacted by abuse and neglect.
