It put me on a campaign for my entire life to offer access to hope for people that I went through and in the hospital and not having any hope, and that the depths of depravity, mentally and spiritually, that takes you to something that I never want to experience.
What happens when a man's life is saved by the very creatures he rescues? In this episode of 'Dismantled Life', host Anthony Capozzoli sits down with Zach Skow, the founder of Marley's Mutts, to unravel this heartwarming tale. Zach's story is not just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding purpose and redemption through the unlikeliest of companions—dogs. Once grappling with severe alcohol and drug addiction, Zach faced the grim reality of end-stage liver disease and was placed in hospice care.
His turning point came when he began fostering dogs, which sparked a newfound sense of purpose and ultimately led him to sobriety. During the conversation, Zach opens up about how these dogs played a pivotal role in his recovery journey. He explains how caring for them gave him a reason to live and, in turn, helped him heal.
This mutual healing process became the foundation for Marley's Mutts, a non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and re-homes dogs while also offering hope to people battling addiction. Zach also delves into the emotional toll his addiction took on his family and loved ones. He shares candid advice on mending broken relationships and emphasizes the importance of hope in recovery. Now, as an advocate for addiction recovery, Zach works tirelessly to provide support and inspiration to others facing similar struggles.
If you're looking for a story that underscores the transformative power of love, community, and second chances, this episode is a must-listen.
