Wesson is 5yrs old and was 54lbs in the shelter (but underweight). He didn’t show any reactivity to other dogs and was very easy to leash and walk! He just wanted love, and who could blame him in the scary shelter. He was medically e-listed for being blind in one eye with a lens luxation and possibly glaucoma. We were able to find him a foster initially to get him out of boarding, but they sadly gave up on him after 2 days and he is now in boarding.
We were able to get him into a specialist for his eye, and he now needs drops to be given daily. The staff in boarding just can’t do them. He does great when out with volunteers, but he is way to stressed for different staff members to be giving these on the schedule they need and reacting negatively from the stress.
The specialist said if we can’t keep up with the drops, we should remove his eye since it will just get worse and cause him pain. We really need to find him a foster (an adopter of course would be best, but we won't be picky!) to give him a fair chance to decompress in a foster home and gain his trust so he can get his eye drops and keep his eye.
He was in a foster home with other dogs briefly and just wanted some space, but this may have been from stress and the timing of just leaving the shelter - he wasn't aggressive but told them he wanted to be left alone, so dogs that will be too in his face won't be ideal. Young kids would not be a good fit for him either (we need to get to know him better).

Additional adoption info
We ensure that our huskies only go to families on a property with a 6ft secure fence, and remain the guardian of the animal for life - if there is ever need for a family to rehome their husky again due to health or any other major concern, we are always willing to take the dog back and find them a new home.

We do not have a physical shelter location just yet, and operate solely out of foster homes. We are planning to begin participating in adoption events in the near future - these will be listed on our website once available!
