Savin' the Haven from the Heat

Pasado’s Safe Haven’s home base of Washington State has recently experienced a week of record-high temperatures. The 103 degree heat is sweltering – but imagine enduring it with feathers or a thick coat of hair or fur!

So how do Pasado’s hot horses, flushed fowl, and porky pigs beat the heat?


With cool showers and a treat of their favorite fresh fruit: strawberries for Louise the pig, melons for our cows, and grapes for our grateful goats and plucky hens.

Our animals enjoyed their cold spray-down reprieve!

Pig Newton (image above left) relishes his refreshing spray-down as he dips his hooves in a cool-down pool. His smile was priceless – and it warmed our hearts as we helped him cool down. Also Pasado's Pig Princess Louise (image above right) munches down some bright red strawberries.

Our newly-discovered resident rock star, Chester (images above), was lovin’ the feel of the fan in his long, flowing mane.  He just couldn’t get enough of it! 

Goose E. Goose (image above left) couldn’t believe his luck – an ice-cold bath!  He dove right in and honked with glee, while Clyde the goat (image above right) dined on delicious, cold grapes, an invigorating summer delight!

Goldie (image above left) and Mick (image above right) took their cool baths in stride, sighing with contentment.

Our hens (image above left) loved the fresh fruit, while all our cows (image above right) crowded around Heather, our Farm Animal Caretaker for some mouth-watering melon.

Check out some video footage of our animal cool-down here!

At Pasado’s, we’re committed to the continued care of our animals – on every day and during every season.  We enjoy treating them as much as they enjoy the treats!  Seeing the gratitude in their eyes makes the fight to save the animals all the more rewarding.
