Working with dogs was the only thing that kind of helped me feel redeemable.
What if the key to overcoming addiction lay in the paws of a furry friend? Zach Skow's story is a testament to the transformative power of unconditional love and companionship. At 28, Zach was on the brink of death due to end-stage liver disease caused by severe alcohol addiction. To qualify for a life-saving transplant, he needed six months of sobriety—a daunting task that seemed impossible. But then, his dogs stepped in.
These loyal companions provided Zach with the strength, kinship, and unconditional love he desperately needed to stay sober. Fast forward a decade, and Zach is not only sober but also married with a child. He's the founder of Marley's Mutts, a dog rescue organization that has rehabilitated and rehomed over 5,000 shelter dogs. But Marley's Mutts is more than just a rescue operation; it's a beacon of hope for both humans and animals.
The organization runs various therapeutic programs that benefit people and dogs alike, creating a ripple effect of healing and love. Tune in to hear Zach's inspiring journey from the depths of addiction to a life dedicated to saving dogs and transforming lives.
