After losing his leg in combat, retired Marine David Carter struggled to find purpose. One day, he stumbled upon a stray dog in need of care, igniting a new mission: rescuing homeless pets. Over the years, David founded “Paws of Valor,” a shelter that has rescued thousands of animals and paired them with veterans in need of companionship. His journey from personal hardship to a life dedicated to saving others—both human and animal—is an inspiring example of resilience.
