We fostered this little guy, Kielbasa, who was rescued at DCFC's stadium, Keyworth. Named after our favorite food we get from a vendor at the games. Kielbasa was later adopted by one of Makenna's coworkers. Kielbasa was unexpectedly and temporarily paralyzed due to poor health 2 days after Kielbasa was rescued. Josh and Makenna nursed Kielbasa back to health while changing Kielbasa's diapers, making him formula to gain weight quicker, and taking turns sleeping on the floor with him in the spare bedroom. He's healthy and running around now (and even survived outside during a tornado, lol).
