Pate
Pate has been rescuing animals for more than 18 years. When she moved to Washington she discovered Motley Zoo and began getting involved. Since 2010 she's been a powerhouse behind MZ's life-saving momentum.
Besides a handful of her own pets, 2 kids, and a husband, Pate is up for anything- the more needy the animal the more she wants to help. She is up most nights bottle-feeding puppies, nursing animals having seizures, and more.
Even when she battled cancer in 2019- and again in 2024- this barely slowed her down. Thanks to her perseverance and unwillingness to let cancer stand in her way, Pate continue to be an unrivaled rescue powerhouse.
Pate is the master of puppies and friend to feisty felines- and MZ wouldn't be where it is today without her.
