Meet Ashlee!

Nine-year-old Ashlee is a girl who is curious about the world, with a deep love for animals. She dreams of having a pet dog or cat, but her biggest aspiration is to ride a proper horse, not just a pony!

Ashlee enjoys being active and connected. She thrives when adults take time to listen to her ideas, and share in her excitement. When she’s not at school, you’ll often find Ashlee outside exploring at the playground, dancing, or chatting away about things she finds interesting.

Ashlee hopes for a family who will be proud of her and enjoys spending time together. Family nights are right up her alley, especially a cozy movie with popcorn or a board game full of laughs. She’s looking for a home where she is loved and celebrated just for being herself.
