***FOSTER OR FOSTER TO ADOPT**
Meet Ben! 💙🤎
Looking for a pocket-sized husky with a big personality? Ben is your guy! At about 30 pounds and approximately a year old (per vet paperwork), this handsome boy may still have a little growing to do — but he’s already overflowing with charm. And let’s talk about those eyes… Ben has one striking blue eye and one deep brown eye, giving him that classic husky look that stops people in their tracks. His mismatched eyes are as unforgettable as his fun-loving spirit.
Ben is everything people adore about huskies — friendly, playful, outgoing, and full of life. During his photo session, he was incredibly social, soaking up attention, leaning in for affection, and showing off his silly, expressive personality. He genuinely loves being around people and brings a happy energy wherever he goes. At his age, Ben is still very much in that young, playful stage. He has that classic husky-level enthusiasm and will thrive with an active family who can keep him engaged with walks, adventures, and continued training to challenge that smart brain. He’s food-motivated, curious, and eager to interact — all great traits for learning.
Why Foster or Foster-to-Adopt?
When Ben arrived from a high-intake shelter in Texas (where heartworm is unfortunately common), he tested positive for heartworm. The good news is that heartworm is treatable and not contagious — it’s only transmitted through mosquito bites. Canine Collective will cover the full cost of his treatment, which includes three vet visits over the course of about four months. During that time, Ben will need a foster home where he can stay calm and comfortable while he heals (think leash walks and snuggle time instead of marathon zoomies).
We’re looking for a loving foster or foster-to-adopt home to help him through this temporary chapter. And if, after treatment, you realize you can’t imagine life without those unforgettable eyes? We would be absolutely thrilled to make it official. Apply at www.caninecollective.org
