This petite beauty has a story that will tug at your heartstrings—she was found alone, limping, and carrying the evidence of a difficult past: broken bones, fractured ribs, and even some skull fractures. Despite it all, Briella’s journey is one of hope and resilience. She overcame a challenging start with grace, losing a leg but never losing her spirit. At about 45 pounds, she radiates a joyful energy that’s contagious. Upon her arrival, it was clear Briella needed not just physical healing but also some emotional guidance.

Thanks to unwavering care and structure, along with a little anti-anxiety medication, she’s grown so much—learning boundaries and how to relax, opening up to the love all around her. Now, at around 2.5 years old, Briella is seeking a forever home where her brave spirit and affectionate nature can truly bloom! She is living proof that love and patience can lead to incredible transformation, and she’s ready to start a joyful new chapter. Please note that adoption requires in-person meetings to ensure she finds the perfect match. Give Briella the loving home she’s always deserved and let her shine!
