Pasado’s Safe Haven
Today we headed off to take Turk and Rex to a sanctuary where they can stay as long as they need to, but hopefully will find a great forever home someday.
With Rex riding shotgun and Turk in the back, we drove Northeast of Seattle for about an hour.
That’s where we found Pasado’s Safe Haven.
Not only do they take in neglected and abused animals, Pasado’s Safe Haven is also known for numerous prosecutions against animal abusers, and they have won major convictions. They have even helped change laws in Washington state to protect animals against cruelty.
We arrived at the private gates as I gave Rex & Turk one last pep talk.
OH MAN! TURK! I see a lady muscovy duck!
They’re also building a pond, but all the rain we’ve had filled the hole before they could put the pond liner in. I don’t think these ducks mind though.
There are cats and dogs and goats and a donkey and a miniature horse and a llama and…
…geese and chickens and roosters and ducks and more!
Unfortunately for Rex and Turk, they have to spend a few days in isolation until a veterinarian can clear them to be near the other animals at Pasado’s. But they’re in a very comfy spot.
I said goodbye and wished them well, and then as I was driving out I saw this truck.
The motto says “Hurt an animal go to jail!”
Great motto. I like it.
Boy it sure was quiet in the aviary when we got home tonight.
Without Turk & Rex to huff and puff, even Chewy looked a little bored.
It will be good to return to a little peace and quiet and not have to play “musical ducks” to keep everyone safe and sound here at home, but the change of pace takes some getting used to. Rex & Turk were with us since July, and they were big, crazy, fun personalities.
Turk? May you have the best of luck impressing that new grey muscovy girl at the sanctuary.
And Rex? Best of luck chasing the pants and shoes of all the people at Pasado’s Safe Haven.

The nice people at Pasado’s Safe Haven promised to update us now and then on how Turk & Rex are doing. We’d like to thank them again for everything they do to help animals, reduce cruelty & suffering and prosecute animal abusers.

Great job Tif on taking care of these guys and finding them a good home. I bet your missing them now LOL.
I saw you took a picture of a Pringles goose but you only showed his fat rolls. Perhaps you can send Pringles a picture of that nice looking lady if you have one.
It’s so quiet here without those characters! Sorry, Pringles… I did not get a photo of that goose. Maybe I will be able to go visit Turk & Rex when they’re out of isolation. If I do, I will take a photo of the WHOLE goose then. Just for you, Pringles.
Rex and Turk’s new home looks fabulous! Warms my heart to know that these people have the best interest of the animals in mind. They will be fine after a few days confinement. You made a difficult but very well throught through decision.
Good luck boys, don’t quarrel over the lady(s);-)
I bet it is quiet in the yard now, these guys can make a lot of noise and make their presence felt. I’m sure you’ll miss them but they have had a wonderful recuperation period and I hope they’ve learned some good manners too;-)
Thanks for the pictures!
Pasado’s is a great place for them. I know they will do well there.
How wonderful of Pasado’s Safe Haven to take them in!!! Great news!!!
Pasado’s looks like an awesome place. I guess “Hurt an animal, get your head busted” would be too aggressive a motto, eh?
I’m sure Malley the Crankasaur can fill in any vacancies in the huffing and puffing department.
Oh, wow, what a wonderful looking place. Do they take people? Because I think I’d like to live there.
Good on you, Tiff, for everything you have done for those boys. You are Such a Good Egg.
Thank you for letting us know about this wonderful place. They certainly deserve our thanks for and support of all they do.
How good that you found such a good place for Turk and Rex. These people really deserve a medallion. Well done!
In Pipke’s case it was not possible to introduce her to other ducks or to bring her to a sanctuary because I found her in an abounded nest exact at the moment that she came out her egg. She never wanted to be with other ducks! Of course you know that this had to do with “imprinting” but I could not let her die there whole alone! If such situation occured again I would do the same!
She was a lucky duck!
wow, that place is awesome! if i were a duck, i’d want to live there!
I love this blog! Always had a giant soft spot for ducks. Have kept them all my life, they are the most entertaining and lovely birds I’ve ever kept.
Incidentally, I had two ducks a year or so ago but had to take them back to where I got them from when I unexpectedly had to move house. But, but but! They came from the home of Stumpy! the 4 legged duck from hampshire in england! I’m sure you are aware of him. Anyway my little angels Piper and Jellybean roll around in the Stumpy crew now! I even got to give stumpy a cuddle when I met him the first time. He is a very handsome and cuddly boy
