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 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 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, she’s not just making a difference; she’s addressing systemic issues in animal rescue, driving change where it matters most.

Kendall Dittman

Foster/ Adoption Coordinator & Social Media Maven

Ten years ago, Kendall was inspired to start fostering dogs when her sister volunteered at the Humane Society. After her beloved dog passed away in 2020 at 14 years old, she made a bold commitment to foster dogs full-time—and she hasn’t looked back.

Kendall is fierce about educating others on animal welfare and is relentless in helping dogs find their forever homes. Her compassion, grit, and unapologetic drive make her a force to be reckoned with.

A friend, a rock star foster dog mom, and the brains behind our social media, RGR is lucky to have Kendall on the team.
