What happens when you hit rock bottom and find a reason to fight your way back? In this episode of Keep It Humane: The Podcast, we sit down with Zach Skow, founder of Marley’s Mutts, for a powerful conversation about addiction, recovery, resilience, and the life-changing bond between humans and animals.
Zach’s journey is anything but ordinary. From battling addiction and facing end-stage liver disease to rebuilding his life through sobriety and animal rescue, he’s turned personal struggles into a mission that changes lives. Through Marley’s Mutts, Zach has helped create meaningful connections between people and dogs through rescue, rehabilitation, and programs that demonstrate just how much animals can transform our lives.
We talk about the moments that changed everything, the challenges behind the work, and why helping animals can sometimes mean helping people heal, too.
This is a conversation about second chances, finding purpose in unexpected places, and discovering that even at your lowest point, your story isn’t over.
