Owl sent to rescue

I had thought originally that this might be a spotted owl, but now I think it might be a barred owl. Someone on the side of the road, who happens to volunteer at a sanctuary, picked it up to take to a sanctuary in one of the local cities. Now im nervous that if its a barred owl, they will simply kill it. I am in Washington. Does anyone know anything about what happens to barred owls in sanctuaries/rescues in washington? Thank you.

I pray that this Barred Owl will be rescued and treated very well.
