Summary
In this week’s episode, I am sitting down with Zach Skow, the founder of the Pawsitive Change Program. Pawsitive Change is a non-profit that runs in the California prison system, and brings rescue dogs into the prison population. Zach and other trainers help inmates become dog trainers themselves. This is an incredible program, and helps bring hope and healing to not only those incarcerated, but to the dogs being rescued. I hope you guys enjoy listening to Zach’s story of redemption, and how Pawsitive Change came to be.
