| I found this little dog...need help with breed. I was at work today and a little white dog strolled into our warehouse. I heard some co-workers talking about a dog and I went outside and there was this little white dog that looked so lost. His face was completely matted with grass and mudd. His legs were completely black. I looked at him and he came up to me and licked my hand. I decided to wash him in the kitchen sink at work but all I had was hand soap. I took a scissor and cut off most of the hair on his face since it was completely matted and wouldn't come off with soap. I just brought him home. I have no idea what I am going to do with him yet. I am posting his picture on lost and found websites and I am going to post flyers by where I work. His paws are completely raw and he has trouble standing on them. I am just worried that someone just dumped him since I work in a very industrial area and the closest residential area is nearly 3 miles away. I am having issues trying to figure out what breed he is. He has some sort of mix. I think he is rather young maybe 1 since his teeth are perfect and white and are strong. If anyone can help me figure out more or less what breed he is, it would help when I post him on found websites.

| I was thinking he had maltese in him but he has some tan markings on his back and his hair sheds.

| Thank you for taking this baby in from the street....pitiful little lost soul. I would take him to the vet in the am and see if he has a chip....that would be a wonderful thing if he did, as long as the home he goes back to is a good one for him. He is very fortunate he even survived the trip, and walked into what he was hoping was help. YOU filled that bill for him! If I got no response from the scan/microchip, and no response from the flyers/ads.....I would be picking out a name! He found YOU, and you opened up your heart for him.... |

| Is it shedding or hair broken from being matted? Does he have an undercoat? Or Maltese mix... but I don't see any other breed in him (that I recognize). Maltese do sometimes have lemon/tan on their ears. Maybe just not a show specimen...

| I think his hair might just be breaking from all the matting. I am taking him to the vet first thing in the morning. He didn't even have a collar. I am hoping he has a microchip.

| Oh my he is just adorable. He looks like a Maltese/Terrier Mix. I am glad he safe with you at the moment. I pray he is just lost and that his owner is looking for him.

| Poor baby. I hope you find his owners or a good home for him. I'd guess he's maltese and/havanese. |

| What a lucky boy- raw paws! Heart broken! I can see the Maltese but he looks very stocky with stubby short legs- how much do you think he weighs?

| He weighs about 8lbs but he is very long with short legs. I am waiting at the vet now to see if he has a chip if he doesn't I'm going to groom him at least to be able to have him in the house.
