    social media—while staying hands-on in daily animal care.

    Aaron and Kristen met in San Francisco in 2014, long before
    their lives revolved around rescue animals. After moving
    to Oregon and starting a horse boarding facility, Aaron
    became deeply involved in animal care. He now manages daily feedings, assists with veterinary care, and tackles major maintenance projects.

  • GREG FRIEDMAN - board member

    Greg discovered Rewild Refuge in 2020 after the rescue of
    Sadie & Stewie and quickly became an essential part of the
    team. As the primary pig caretaker, he plays a key role in
    their daily care, assists with veterinary needs, rescue
    transports, and building projects—always stepping up
    wherever help is needed.

  • Ashley Maya

    hours in the pig barn on family visits. Ashley pours her heart
    into caring for the animals at Rewild who have become her family. Passionate about herbal remedies and holistic care, she
    strives not to add years to their life, but life to their years.
