Tracy is originally from Dallas, Texas, and has spent the past year in Houston at Taylor Recovery. At the end of 2024, she lost everything, including her relationship with her family, due to substance use. She has not spoken to her children in over a year and a half. Throughout this time, her dog, Roxie, has remained by her side with support from Dogs Matter. Tracy often says that while she once believed she rescued Roxie, it is Roxie who is now helping to rescue her. Without her, Tracy believes she would never have found the support of Dogs Matter or Taylor Recovery. Her recovery journey has been challenging, but she is committed to moving forward. She has worked diligently with her counselor using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and is beginning to see and feel meaningful changes in herself. Tracy is hopeful about her future and looks forward to the possibility of reuniting with her children by demonstrating the growth she has achieved. More importantly, she is focused on becoming the person and mother she wants to be again, and with continued support, she is making steady progress toward that goal.
