  Through our events, private tours, and outreach programs our main objective is to educate our guests and the community about the horrors of animal agriculture and it's impact on our environment, but mostly the suffering of billions of sentient beings at the hands of humans. We hope to help change the hearts, minds, and  lives of the humans who visit the sanctuary. Helping people open their hearts to making better choices in their lives that help save animals is an ongoing goal. Allowing people the space to see farmed animals differently is the first step to saving more lives.

Animal welfare and advocacy is at the forefront of our mission. Every opportunity to encourage others to take the steps to live a kinder life we will. By being a voice for the voiceless we plant seeds of kindness and compassion with every breath we take. We are so grateful to be in a position to provide real, life changing opportunities to the animals and humans that arrive at The Zend.  What a privilege it is to be surrounded by so much hope each and every day. There is no greater reward than saving the life of someone who deserves to live.
