Adopt or Foster an Animal with Pasado’s Safe Haven

As an Old Dog Mommy, I highly recommend adopting an “oldie, but a goodie” at Pasado’s! They come in all flavors, including Mutt (my favorite!) and you don’t have to deal with all that Puppy nonsense like potty training, shoe chewing and destructo-dog behavior! You get a good old fashioned lap dog that just wants to be with you and soak up the lovin’!

I’ve had rescue dogs all of my adult life and loved every minute of them.  Now that I’m working from home I can adopt senior dogs that need the forever home they lost.  Our last old fellow recently died after living with us for two years after being found wandering the streets of Bellingham.  He left a big hole in our hearts, but we know we have enough love for another senior dog that needs a place to live out the rest of their lives.

How well do your vets examine these adoptables?  I had a friend recently adopt one of your little buddies and he came home infected with worms.  He’s an indoor cat.  There’s no other way that he got them other than contracting them at your shelter.  The vet failed to catch it and it was only discovered when the animal actually started passing worms in his new home even though he was given a clean bill of health upon release.  Just a little concerned here.

Hello –

Thank you for expressing your concern.  What kind of worms?  If you can provide the name of the kitty, we can take a look at the records and supply you with more info. 
In the meantime, here is some info from our Vet Tech, Carla: 
Intestinal parasites are passed from one animal to another thru contact with fecal matter and/ or grooming, or are passed from the mother to her kittens thru the mother’s milk.
All animals are given medication to treat for both intestinal and external parasites on arrival and are treated on a regular basis with Revolution or Trifexis while residing at Pasado’s.
Intestinal parasites go thru specific lifecycles and so are not always detected on fecal examination.
Taenia taeniaeformis (tapeworm) does not show up on routine fecal float and will sometimes be visible around the tail of the animal or in a fecal. This parasite is caused by the ingestion of fleas or eating rodents, so even an indoor cat who catches the occasional mouse can be exposed to this parasite.
The staff DVM reviews the records before the animal is adopted to make sure they are up to date on vaccines, had a negative fecal during their stay at Pasado’s,  have a supply of necessary medications and were recently treated with Revolution, Advantage or Trifexis
Not knowing the name of the animal in question, I can not say for certain what he/she was given prior to adoption.
We can not guarantee the health of any animal, just like your doctor can not guarantee your health.

the spay station in PIERCE CO came to the mobile home park i live in ROY and did our entire park and it was a wonderful experience.  I thank Pasados and Linda Trendler and her crew of very special animal caregivers and the Milgard Foundation. 
I hope anyone who needs help or info steps up and contacts Linda and the Spay station.  It was a GODSEND and blessing. Again THANK YOU ALL!     CHERYL PAUL
