Found male unaltered, no microchips. Approximately 2 yrs old, 47lbs thin. Was found by two other local people on 7/12 and 7/13. He came into my care on 7/15. Very thin, can feel his hip bones and spine. Found in the Del Paso Heights of Sacramento. We are enjoying having him around. But any help finding owners, or tips on care would be greatly appreciated!

i am going to sound like a horrible wet blanket, sorry...
but in my area the recommended action is to take the dog to local shelter/animal control.

They will take his photo and post him in the "found pets" area of the website. That's because many anxious owners check the websites of local shelters to see if their dog has been found.

After two weeks, if nobody has claimed him, he can be adopted out. Maybe the shelter would let you keep him at your home though, instead of kenneling him there.

I think that it is considered "in good conscience" to give his original owners a chance to find him (even if you think they seem like mean lax careless owners who maybe dropped him by the roadside )

( We were followed home once by a dog, we turned her in at Animal Control...her chip was read and her owners came and got her that afternoon. )

PS He is beautiful, love his eyes!

The shelters out here have an option to report found dogs/cats and keep them in your home. He has been reported there, as well as thru the city of Sacramento, as well as 4 fb groups for lost and found dogs, and the nextdoor app for the greater Sacramento area. Thank you!

Seems things like Facebook Groups, Nextdoor are the best way to get the word out these days. Someone we know had a husky escape and a friend posted on facebook for them. She was located a couple days later.
