Found an abandoned puppy in my rural neighborhood

Found this lil guy in our neighborhood running around with a collar that had no tags. He was with what looked to be his papa dog, but the papa dog was skittish and unfortunately ran off when I leashed his son. I haven’t been able to find him since.

I have the puppy quarantined from my other doggies in the backyard waiting for someone local on Nextdoor to claim him! I gave him some water and a little bit of food (not too much since I didn’t want his stomach to get upset) and the poor lil guy was famished!

I’m not sure if he has anything (hence the quarantine), but I did pull off a few ticks and it looks like he’s covered in fleas. My next plan of attack is to give this guy a nice wash and treat him with flea medication.

I’ll follow up with any updates if someone claims him- but so far all signs are pointing to him being abandoned, poor thing. Our local animal shelter is closed today, so if I’m unable to keep him myself, I’ll be dropping him off there.

If you guys have any suggestions for anything else I should do, please let me know! Also, do you guys know what breed he is? I have no clue!
