Sara Terry

Sara Terry joined The Barking Project in 2025, drawn to its mission of connecting rescue dogs with loving, forever homes. A passionate advocate for rescue animals, she brings her marketing and leadership expertise to the board in support of TBP’s work. Her personal connection to rescue is close to home — in 2023, she welcomed Gigi, a French bulldog, who serves as a daily reminder of why this mission matters.

Professionally, Sara is Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President of Leasing at Pacific Elm Properties, a Woods Capital Company, where she leads marketing and leasing strategy across the firm’s Dallas office portfolio. With 28 years of commercial real estate experience, she has a background in property management, construction management, marketing, and landlord representation. She holds the SIOR designation, serves as a Global Board Director for CREW Network, and has received numerous industry honors, including recognition in the Dallas 500.

Outside of work, Sara is active in the Dallas community and serves on several local boards. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, playing tennis, and reading – usually with Gigi nearby.
