We are Scott and Lisa, the owners of Zen Zoo. We started this business as a way to help Lisa stay home while Scott was enduring treatment for Stage 4 Cancer.
Lisa has been an animal advocate and rescuer for over 15 years. She has been recognized on the United States Congressional Floor for her rescue work during Louisiana and Texas Flooding, and she founded and operated an award-winning nonprofit rescue organization in Minneapolis. She spent almost 2 years in the Dominican Republic rescuing dogs before coming to California and meeting Scott.
Scott was a teacher by trade for almost 20 years, focusing his efforts on at-risk youth. He has many years of experience with animals including shelter work.
Now that Stage 4 is a distant memory (YAY!), Scott and Lisa are traveling.
Traci, our new zookeeper, is watching the shop! She has experience and the mindset that helped us to decide to keep Zen Zoo going. She's been trained and coached, and Scott and Lisa are still involved and overseeing the day-to-day. Your pups are in great hands at the Zoo.
