Planting seeds of compassion in the next generation.
Our educational opportunities are designed to help increase prosocial behaviors like compassion, responsibility and empathy while building a deeper understanding of animals, fellow humans and environmental protection.
Our Sanctuary Stories Tour is offered as a field trip, classroom visit, or virtual presentation and is designed to meet SEL standards. This experience brings real animal stories to life in a way that inspires empathy and compassion.
Our Compassionate Classroom Curriculum is free for parents and teachers to download and is designed to inspire empathy and kindness for all living beings. This collection of lessons is designed to meet SEL standards.
Many elementary classrooms read the book Shiloh. These classrooms are invited to participate in a live presentation that uses Common Core English Language Arts Standards, connecting their reading to real-life rescue stories.
We help facilitate dynamic conversations that connect college students to real-world issues involving the interconnections between factory farming, social justice and the environment.

“Our students have a passion for animals and animal welfare. Pasado’s Safe Haven tapped into that energy and really inspired our students with powerful stories and concrete information about how we can make a difference for animals. And when we make a difference for animals, we make a difference for all of us. Great presentation!”
Our students loved being able to see the difference Pasado’s Safe Haven can make. They found it heartbreaking to learn about some of the cruelty animals face but truly appreciated the beautiful home Pasado’s Safe Haven is able to provide. This gave them a better understanding of how they can help protect animals and become involved if they witness abuse. It helps students develop compassion for all living things.
At Pasado’s Safe Haven, we believe compassionate action is fundamental to dismantling systems of oppression for all living beings. We courageously live this belief every day through our work to end animal cruelty and our commitment to respect and kindness. We can only be successful by embracing the diversity and power of each individual’s lived experience as we all work together toward an expanded circle of compassion.
Our programs are designed to connect with multiple nationally recognized education standards to maximize the learning experience. This includes links to the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core English Language Art Standards, as well as CASEL’s evidenced based Social and Emotional Learning Framework and valuable Character Education concepts.
