Russell and Teresa Taylor
Born in Liverpool, England. Russell served as President of Britain’s most famous service franchise company with the responsibility for operations in ten countries. In 1986 he moved to Orange County, California to head up an acquisitions and franchising group.

Teresa Taylor was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio with a houseful of seven brothers. She remembers growing up with animals as a part of her life. For several years she was employed by Beatrice and found herself transferred to Southern California. Eventually she was hired by a European service group and served as Personnel Director.

Russell married Teresa and purchased a four-acre home in Modjeska Canyon. They have three daughters (Rochelle, Chantal and Nicole). The Taylors founded Modjeska Ranch Rescue in 2001 in order to offer animals a second chance for a good life. Their home and land have become a refuge for abandoned animals
