Meet 15-year-old Izabelle, who is starting the new year with the dream of becoming part of her Forever Family.
Izabelle is a sweet and imaginative young girl who enjoys engaging in arts and crafts. Her creativity comes through especially when she spends time on her original coloring artwork.
Izabelle enjoys spending time at home, but when there is a chance for an outing, it’s a trip to the movies, followed by eating at McDonald’s, where her favorite item to order is Chicken McNuggets.
Some Fun Facts about Isabelle: She is learning to speak Spanish, she is a fan of pets, she enjoys arts & crafts, and she likes to help in the kitchen and learn about cooking.
With a strong love for animals, she likes spending time with pets, and they like her as she has a gentle and calm demeanor with them. She would like her future Forever Family to know she would like her family to have a pet of any kind she could help care for.
