When Eleni adopted an aggressive dog named Buck, their eyes were opened to the struggle of animals with behavioral special needs being forgotten in the shelter system. Buck inspired Eleni to become a dog trainer specializing in aggression rehabilitation, and soon after the Wayward Ranch dream was born: to create a safe haven for underdogs of many species!

Tess joined our Board of Directors in 2020 after adopting two piglets from Wayward Ranch in 2019. Tess has always been an animal lover and brings her experience in production and marketing to our team as well as volunteering her time to assist in adoptions, property renovations, and her true passion: Pig rescue!
