MEET THE TEAM

MELISSA TERZIS

FOUNDER

Melissa is a Mom, Wife and Realtor, not always in that order.

​​

ECCR began in April, 2017, after Melissa lost the two great loves of her life - Corgi Sammy and Corgidor Thora. She realized there were so many dogs who needed help, and the rescue was born.

​​

While Melissa is Momming or Realtoring (we know those aren't real words), the rest of the crew is saving more dogs.
