Pasado's Story

When
you decided to click on this page, you already had in your heart what
we all share here at Pasado's Safe Haven - a passion to help the animals and an
inquisitive mind that makes you ask, "What would it be like to work
around those animals every day? Live with them (well, almost!)" Right?

2007 Winter
Intern
All the way from Wisconsin, Becky
meets and works with the animals she chose not to eat years ago... |

2006 Summer
Intern
Claire, from Houma, Louisiana. We met her when we were rescuing in the
aftermath of Katrina. A pre-vet student, Claire wanted to learn "hands-on"
about the animals. Did she ever! Read about her summer
here, and where she
is now. |

2005 Fall
Intern
Merilee, (bottom row, far right) started her 2005 Fall Pasado Internship
by meeting us at the airport and boarding a plane bound for New Orleans. She
was with PasadoRescuers for two months while they lived and breathed
Hurricane Katrina rescue. The photo, left, was taken at the airport, before
they left Seattle. That was the last time she's be as clean for 60 days -
but it was a life-changing experience she'll never forget. |
|
 |
Once in
Louisiana, Merilee went to work. Left, she's coordinating rescue with local
law enforcement at Lamar Dickson, where the first of the rescued Katrina
animals came in. It was 95+ degree everyday. She worked 20 hour days. But
she was doing work that would forever save lives. |
|
 |
Merilee went
out, in-the-field, daily on rescues. When you intern with Pasado's Safe
Haven, you're apt to face the "extremes" - moments that will be a part of
your heart and mind forever. Many of them happy, many of them sad beyond
words. You must be able to withstand a range of emotions and continue to
work. |

Merilee,

a moment. |

The photo left
was taken with a cell phone camera (hence the poor quality). It captures the
ride home, at the end of a long day of Katrina rescue in the burning sun.
Merilee enjoys the company of a rescued puppy, and of Larry, Pasado's Humane
Investigator. |

Another cell
phone photo, left. Merilee helps a dog who had just given birth. She was
found in a New Orleans house, chained, only feet from food and water that
she could never get to. She was too weak to walk. |
|
 |
This is the
mama, with her pups. Merilee took care of them, and so many more. |
|
 |
Only a few
weeks into assisting with Katrina rescue, Merilee's boyfriend, Grant,
flew in to help, too. He was a godsend. They were tireless workers, who
never complained. |
|
 |
Merilee and
Grant - in the end, they helped PasadoRescuers save nearly 1200 dogs, cats,
chickens, parrots, gerbils, hamsters, snakes, and rats from the nation's
worst disaster. We will be forever grateful to them, and they will never
forget how they spent their PasadoInternship.
