Home of Zonk the Zonkey

Integrity’s Haven Equine Rescue Centre (IHERC) is a registered Canadian charity located in Chester Basin, Nova Scotia. We are a non-profit rescue farm dedicated to providing lifelong care, rehabilitation, and second chances to animals in need. We focus especially on sick, senior, and unwanted animals — those who are often overlooked and most vulnerable.

As a registered Canadian charity, IHERC provides tax receipts for donations.

Our Mission

At IHERC we believe every animal deserves dignity, safety, and love. We rescue and care for horses, donkeys, zonkeys, dogs, and cats.

Many come from difficult situations — the streets, shelters, or homes and barns where circumstances have changed. We understand that unforeseen life events can happen to anyone. Our goal is never judgment — it is always compassion and responsible solutions.
