Joe retired as an 18-year USAF Master Sergeant after serving American interests all over the world, including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Africa. But after his honorable discharge, Joe noticed changes in himself that made it difficult to live a happy and healthy life with his family.  After struggling with debilitating PTSD for years he reached out to Golden PAWS for help.  

The bond Joe now holds with Zelda has transformed his life.  Where he had once isolated himself, today with Zelda’s loving care and support he is integrating back into a fulfilling life and healing past traumas.

“Zelda has been there in the darkest of times.  She reminds me about how much love there is in our home and how much they rely on me.”
