Our sweet Bria, born in August of 2012,  finds joy in connecting with nature. Dancing allows her to express herself freely, while walking to the local farm brings a sense of peace. Bria’s laughter is infectious, spreading joy and warmth to those around her. Bria’s comfort in both observing and participating in play activities suggests a personality that values both independence and social interaction. She willingly engages with others, regardless of age. Bria shows affection spontaneously and reciprocates when it is given to her, which suggests that she is capable of forming healthy relationships and bonds with others.

Bria may not be able to speak with words, but her actions speak volumes. Her gestures and expressions convey her emotions and needs in a way that her caretakers understand. Her ability to dress herself independently shows her determination and self-sufficiency. Bria may communicate differently than others, but her message is clear: she is capable, strong, and deserving of love.

When faced with unfamiliar faces, Bria can feel overwhelmed and anxious. She may struggle to trust new people. It is important for those around her to be patient and understanding, allowing her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable and secure in new environments. With time and support, Bria may learn to develop stronger social skills. We think she is truly a special person to know!
