Team Leaders
Amy, Adoption Coordinator
Amy is the adoption coordinator at RDR. She started her journey in January 2019 when she adopted her RDR dog, Biscuit. Not long after, she decided to start fostering to help other RDR pups find their forever homes and so that Biscuit could have a friend to play with - so it was a win-win! Amy was immediately hooked and continued fostering regularly, started helping process adoption applications, and then eventually became the adoption coordinator in September 2021.
Outside of RDR, Amy spends all of her time with Biscuit and her husband, Thad - including going to breweries, Congressional Cemetery, doggy play dates and happy hours with friends (including Biscuit's RDR sisters!), and even hangs out with Biscuit while working from home doing her "real" job in criminal justice research and policy reform.
Savanna, Foster Coordinator

Elizabeth, Supply and Volunteer Coordinator

Ashley, Marketing Coordinator
Ashley is our marketing coordinator at RDR. She started her journey with RDR in November 2019 when she adopted her first RDR dog, Bear. From there, she started fostering a number of dogs where she used her own Instagram to get her foster pups noticed. Since then, she oversees the marketing team and has also added another Rural Dog Rescue to her pack– Lily.
Ashley, Bear, Lily and Austin (her fiance) enjoy doing things altogether. You can often find them at Bark Social- Bethesda or at a dog beach. Outside of RDR, Ashley is a medical Speech-Language Pathologist and loves the power of communication and connection– with humans and dogs alike!
Regina, Preventatives Coordinator
I got involved with RDR in February of 2022, Finally, after switching jobs I got an opportunity to work with the rescue, which is something that I wanted to do for many years, but couldn't. I started by filling out an online application and coming to events at HTTC as a dog handler. Then Peter referred me to Bryan for Virtual Home visits and I started doing that and then Elizabeth who is awesome asked me to help and eventually take over the preventatives coordinator role. And I have been with RDR ever since and consider it a blessing to be able to do that and be involved.
Outside of RDR I do government contract work, I have a 15-year-old daughter, and I love to travel, and write (children's poetry) I self-published two books, and I love to embroider.
Hadley, Fundraising Coordinator
Hadley is our Fundraising Coordinator at Rural Dog Rescue. She started working with RDR after adopting her second dog, Duncan, from us.
In her professional life, Hadley is a political consultant raising money for political campaigns and causes. She enjoys getting the opportunity to use those skills to help the Underdog as well!
