Meet Cyrus - Soft spoken teen looks to make memories with adoptive family

Cyrus is a teenager who loves to learn. She takes pride in doing her schoolwork well and going to her classes.

When Cyrus is not in school, she can be found outside playing football or walking the neighborhood, making friends with all the pets and animals. She has a huge heart and a soft spot for animals of all shapes and sizes. Ever since she was four years old, Cyrus has dreamed of opening an animal shelter or becoming a veterinarian.

Cyrus is very kind and protective of those she cares about. She dreams of a loving family to call her own that will support her dreams and interests. She also looks forward to spending quality time with her forever family and would like to play card games with her adoptive family and possibly teach them a new game or two!
