Kaleb came to us with his “brothers,” Ollie and Cookie, after suffering from extreme frostbite months prior. The frostbite was so severe that all three kids lost portions of their ears, tails, and hind legs. Kaleb, arguably, suffered the most. After losing a portion of his back leg, it was evident he needed a larger portion of the leg amputated as it died slowly and began to fall off. By the time Kaleb came into our care, he still had an open wound and a bone spur from the brutal procedure. We were able to fit Kaleb for a prosthetic, but after months of observation, we determined he was more agile and mobile without it. Kaleb is the peacekeeper in the Misfit Barn. He’s been known to put his body between residents who get a little too rowdy and protect our more vulnerable residents. He blows our mind with his tenderness. He’s been through unimaginable pain but yet he loves freely. We can all learn something from Kaleb.
