Description

McKenzie "Kenzie" Webster is the INSPIRATION behind Puzzled Paws. McKenzie is a 17 year old Florida native. She was born deaf with Autism and a balanced chromosome translocation. Kenzie has a very strict diet due to a malabsorption of carbohydrates and sugar. While her mom searched for healthy recipes Kenzie could enjoy, Kenzie enjoyed cooking right along-side her mother. Due to her lack of growth hormone, she was to tiny to stand on a step stool - counter sitting let her be in more control of the situation. Kenzie has never ceased to amaze, charm and make people smile. Given the opportunity and the right environment she can do great things! Puzzled Paws will allow Kenzie to build a legacy working with her friends, while also providing healthy options for her furry friends.
