Raised in West Texas and now based in Los Angeles, Terah has always had a deep connection to dogs. Over two decades ago, she was introduced to the world of dog rescue, igniting a lifelong passion. Since then, Terah has fostered over 100 dogs and volunteered with rescue groups across Texas, New York, Georgia, and California.

Her journey led her to found Real Good Rescue, an organization built on responsible rescue practices, transparency, and community engagement. As Executive Director, Terah leads with vision and heart—managing everything from financial operations to strategic development, ensuring the organization runs smoothly.

Terah is also the Creative Director, having built and expanded the Real Good brand. She wears many hats, bringing creativity, structure, and heart to every aspect of Real Good’s work.

Her hands-on approach extends to overseeing relationships with City and County shelters, ensuring accurate data management, and fostering collaborations with veterinary hospitals to provide critical care. She also leads fundraising strategies and budgeting to sustain Real Good’s life-saving mission.

At the heart of everything Real Good does is Terah’s unwavering commitment to the well-being of dogs. Whether through responsible rescue, community support, or innovative outreach, each initiative reflects her passion for making a real impact.

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 changed—when 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 different Los Angeles 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, she’s not just making a difference; she’s addressing systemic issues in animal rescue, driving change where it matters most.

Susan is a lover of all animals, but after getting her first dog at age 10, she has a special place in her heart for all of the dogs. When she’s not volunteering as a grant writer at Real Good Rescue, she’s working as an IT project manager and also as a professional writer of TTRPGs, animation, and comics. Most recently she co-wrote and co-directed a short film that’s currently on the festival circuit.

Susan sees grant writing as a natural extension of her skills, as it combines detailed record-keeping and technical expertise with persuasive and creative writing . As an avid Pokemon Go player, Susan spends several hours per week traversing the neighborhood on foot, and as a result she has gotten to know many local dogs during her explorations.

Sometimes she even gets to pet some of them.

Carly grew up on open land in Georgia, surrounded by more animals than most people meet in a lifetime. With up to twenty cats and a rotating crew of dogs at home, caring for animals wasn’t a hobby — it was built into her DNA. If an animal needed help, she was the one reaching for it.

Her connection to rescue deepened years later when Cowboy came through Real Good Rescue and she helped place him in a forever home. Not long after, she found Lady Alice, a stranded staffy on the side of the highway, and got her safely off the road. Those two moments shifted something. Rescue work wasn’t just meaningful — it felt inevitable.

With a background in social media and a natural eye for story, Carly found her lane on the Real Good Rescue social team. She helps adoptable dogs get seen by sharing their personalities, their progress, and the details that make them impossible to forget.

Carly stays involved both online and on the ground. For her, rescue isn’t about perfect photos — it’s about connection, compassion, and giving every dog a real chance.
