Kelly Wilson
Foster & Adoption Director
Raised in the wild heart of Northern California, Kelly's home became a sanctuary for every stray cat and dog that wandered by. The Wilson residence was a beacon of hope for lost souls, always open to welcoming a furry friend.
In 2006, her journey into the world of rescue truly began when she co-owned a Rhodesian Ridgeback. But it was 13 years ago that everything changedβwhen she laid eyes on her soul dog, Milo. From that moment, she knew he was meant to be hers.
Lucky for her, Milo came fully trained, but it sparked a fire within Kelly. She recognized a pressing need for fostering and training animals in distress and became determined to give them a second chance. By 2017, she had stepped up as a volunteer and board member at a local dog rescue, where she uncovered the deeper challenges facing these animals and the organizations that strive to help them.
After a brief stint volunteering with Terah, Kelly found her true calling at Real Good Rescue, where honesty, integrity, and prioritizing the welfare of animals are fundamental. Here, sheβs not just making a difference; sheβs addressing systemic issues in animal rescue, driving change where it matters most.
