BIO:
Sloane Quealy-Miner is the President and Co-Founder of Zion's Mission Animal Rescue, a foster-based rescue located in Queens, New York, with a strong focus on the Rockaway area, where she lives.
Sloane has been an animal lover her entire life, growing up with a mother who worked in an animal shelter and rescuing many four-legged companions along the way. She is also a longtime animal rights activist, having spent years working on the anti-vivisection SHAC (Stop Huntington Animal Cruelty) campaign, along with many other advocacy efforts.
In 2019, after the passing of Zion—whom she had rescued in Rockaway—Sloane left the rescue where she had served as Vice President and co-founded Zion's Mission Animal Rescue in his honor. Today, she continues to fight for animals by rescuing, leading community activism, and advocating for veganism.
