"You can't change the past, but you can rescue the future" as quoted by the founder of Marley's Mutts, Zach Skow seems to say it all.  Listen as Torie Beck, the coordinator of Miracle Mutts, takes us on a deep dive into Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue and her own experiences with her therapy dogs, Sully, her blind dog, and Roo, her bipedal puppy. This rescue uniquely focuses not only on the dogs saved from high risk situations in overpopulated shelters, but the potential these same dogs have to save the lives they touch. Whether it's a prisoner in the Pawsitive Change program, an individual struggling with mental health in the Miracle Mutts therapy dog program, or a person across the country searching for their furry soulmate that is brought to them by a Marley's Movers plane transport, the impact is profound.To learn more and become a member of the Mutt Militia, check out:Marley's Mutts websiteMarleys Mutts Dog Rescue on FacebookMarleys Mutts on InstagramMiracle Mutts on FacebookMiracle_Mutts on InstagramSullys Sight on InstagramBipedal Dog Owners on FacebookSupport the Show.DisclaimerFollow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.Check out VitalVet.org for all PetAbility Podcast episodes related to rehabilitation as well as a plethora of other resources and product information.MedcoVet (show sponsor) - the next generation in laser therapy by putting healing in the hands of the pet owner!

I'm honored to host a truly remarkable guest, Zach Skow, whose life story and work exemplify the transformative power of sobriety and compassion. Zach is more than just a survivor; he is a beacon of hope and change. As the founder of Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue and the visionary behind the Pawsitive Change Program, Zach has leveraged his passion for animals to foster healing and redemption. His innovative approach, which pairs rescue dogs with inmates, facilitates life-changing bonds and promotes mutual healing and growth. Zach's journey is also deeply personal. As someone who has maintained sobriety, he embodies the resilience and commitment we celebrate on this podcast. His experiences, challenges, and triumphs in the realm of sobriety provide profound insights and inspiration to us all. Today, we'll learn how exploring sobriety has fueled his mission and how the unconditional love of dogs can lead to profound personal transformation. [04:23] Before getting sober, Zach's life was completely dedicated to drugs and alcohol. He spent a lot of time making sure he had enough drugs and alcohol to get through the day. [05:40] He spent a lot of time in the solitude of self-hatred. [07:51] He also had terminal depression and he now wonders how he got through it.  [08:04] Zach shares the moment that propelled him into sobriety. He was in acute liver failure and everything was going wrong. He needed a transplant and was trying to cope with his own mortality. [11:04] Things were so bad, he couldn't control anything except for the suicidal thoughts that he was obsessed with. [13:36] He was at rock bottom and didn't even recognize himself, but his dogs knew he was still there. [15:57] One glance from his dogs during this terrible time in his life, made all the difference. He stayed up with the dogs, watched the sunrise, journaled, and committed to doing better. [16:38] Everyday of his life since then has been dedicated to helping dogs. He found a profound purpose outside of himself.  [17:23] Having a purpose outside of himself allowed him to embrace sobriety. He also had to stay sober for 6 months to get a liver transplant. He had to walk, change everything about his diet, and find a will to live. [18:44] When your energy and mind and spirit are elsewhere, you are required to be present.  [19:28] He also attended 12-step groups and got tools that he needed to stay sober. [21:03] He also discovered that he liked himself. [23:30] At first, sobriety was just the means to get a liver transplant, now it's the most important thing in Zack's life. [27:02] Dogs really made a difference in his recovery, especially in the beginning. You need to introduce structure into a dog's life, so they can be adopted. A person in recovery also needs structure. [30:22] Marley's Mutts was born out of Zach's struggle to get a liver transplant. He was working with the dogs while waiting for the transplant. After six months, he didn't need the transplant anymore. [33:02] He started an animal rescue. Marley's Mutts has been around since April of 2009. They have 30 employees, over 100 dogs, and have found homes for more than 10,000 dogs. [34:55] Zach talks about the four programs that are part of Marley's Mutts including the Pawsitive Change Program. [35:04] The Pawsitive Change Program came about when one of his buddies adopted a dog after coming out of prison. The dog ended up changing the former inmate's life. [37:09] There's something about a dog that represents love, compassion, and home. Bringing dogs into the prison really helps with rehabilitation. [39:13] Zach shares a story about a dog named Smokey who would bite people. Smokey was paired up with an inmate named Jason. Smokey was afraid, Jason introduced him to the world in a new way and kept his needs in mind. [41:47] Smokey and Jason ended up being rehabilitated. [43:18] Every prison should have a Pawsitive Change Program. [45:05] Build your dog's routine into your own healthy routine.

Some of today's top storiesThe Kern County Sheriff's Office has launched an internal investigation after a woman claims she saw KCSO employees use a cat for target practice.    While the woman didn't capture the actual shooting on video, she did record her confrontation with the three men involved.    In the video you can hear a man reply "it was damaging property." The woman confronted the 3 men dressed in tactical gear at the sheriff's department's Hart Park shooting range in Bakersfield last Wednesday. The woman said the man to the left can be seen picking up the cat and walking away with it.  The men never identify themselves.The woman posted the video on social media and said she filed a complaint with the Internal Affairs Office.We reached out to the Kern County Sheriff for comment, but a KCSO spokesperson tells 17 News, they don't comment on active personnel investigations.A local animal rescue that fell victim to scammers, has gotten back a big part of what was stolen. As we reported in January, Zach Skow - founder of Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue in Tehachapi, lost 15 years worth of work when hackers stole the rescue's Facebook page.    Essentially highjacking the lifeline of so many dogs in need.    But late yesterday, Marley's Mutts announced it was able to reclaim its original Facebook page and its 760-thousand followers.    Skow says after three months, he was beginning to lose hope, but in his words "the wonderful team at Meta worked diligently" to make it happen.A local woman is irate after she says someone from a homeless encampment broke into her home... twice. South Chester near the railroad tracks has become a hub for the homeless. Mary Crawley lives less than a mile away from that area on South P Street.She says her home has been ransacked twice but police won't do anything. Crawley says she was told to file a report online. She fears it will happen again, and she's worried for her family's safety.17 News reached out to KCSO, which services her area.A spokesperson for the department told us that there have been multiple calls for service at the address, including reports of transients near the tracks, but not for reports of theft, burglary, or break-ins.

On this episode of the Pawareness Podcast, we welcome Zach Skow, Founder of Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue and the Pawsitive Change Prison Program. Zach has an extremely inspiring story to tell you about how dogs and rescues saved his life. He talks about the Pawsitive Change Prison Program, which is an intensive program that works with incarcerated individuals to rehabilitate people and pets through vulnerability, making a significant impact on those released and reintegrated into society. Then, he shares shocking statistics about incarceration in the US and how the government can help rescues and prisons make positive impacts in the world. “Incarcerated people and pets are my jam. That is what I focus all of my time on, that is what my life is dedicated to, and I feel very blessed and honestly fortunate to have that purpose to plug myself into.” - Zach Skow Tune in to learn about Zach's journey of spontaneous entrepreneurship and how his non-profits have been affected by covid-19. He shares about how dogs have helped him connect to unconditional self-love and self-confidence, as well as what goals and projects he's working on this year in 2021. “For me, the silver lining of all this is we've been able to introduce a cross-section of our society, our culture, in black and brown folks and introduce them into an economy that is receptive, that is inclusive, and that is willing to engage with them and allow them to access their American dream through the pet industry.”- Zach Skow Did you know? 40 of the incarcerated men enrolled in the Pawsitive Change Program have been released and more than 20 of them have since gained employment in the pet industry!

In today's episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I'm wicked excited to be having a deep-dive, down-to-earth, heart-to-heart conversation with one of my bona-fide heroes Zach Skow. Zach is the Executive Director & Founder of “Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue” a non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, trains and re-homes death row dogs from Kern County's high-kill animal shelters. ​After a car accident, Zach struggled with alcoholism for years before he was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease in July 2008. He was given only 90-Days to live and needed to be sober for six months to qualify for a liver transplant - and during that time of sobriety, he said he felt scared, suicidal​ and struggled with self-love and acceptance​. ​But as Zach soon learned, "Dogs are Powerful Medicine" and ​during his transition period into sobriety, ​he established Marley's Mutts Dog Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, to help “the throwaways” dogs with special needs and histories of abuse and neglect who land in animal shelters. Since then, ​Zach has 10 years of sobriety under his belt and ​as an organization ​Marley's Mutts has helped save ​&​ rescue over 5,000 dogs​!  He's​ also ​founded a program that I'm a huge believer in called ​"​Pawsitive ​C​hange​"​ ​that pairs death​-​row dogs ​with inmates in CA prisons ​-​ giving both ​humans & dogs a second chance ​at life and rehabilitation.  This episode is super near & dear to my heart - and Zach is a true testament to what it means to transform “Your Story to Your Glory”! I hope you'll take the time to check it out.

Same as episode 68, but should load quicker on your podcast player. Zach Skow is founder of Marley’s Mutts Dog Rescue in Tehachapi, California. Several years ago, Zach was dying of liver and kidney failure from his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction. Amazingly, several months after a very low point for him, Zach’s health improved. He longer required an organ transplant, and now lives alcohol and drug-free. His only drugs are Veg-E-Tables. Zach credits his survival to his rescue dogs Marley and Tug, along with his father’s love and support. As Zach says, “a pit bull saved my life.” Marley is a Rottweiler-Pit Bull mix. Marley’s Mutts has gained an active following on social media with over 500,000 followers on Facebook, and in today’s episode Zach discusses the many programs that Marley’s offers along with the future direction of the organization.
