If you report the dog as found to the police and the local shelters in this country ( England) After 9 days the dog becomes legally yours. Call your local animal shelter and find out what the legal time limit is on the dog to be able to keep her legally. If they have not reported her lost or stolen after a certain length of time LEGALLY she becomes yours and they have no legs to stand on to claim her THEN if you chip her and she slips out and you see them with her by law they would have to give her back to you. That is how it works here. I found that out with Cheeky while I had her. I am sure the states have a legal way to make her yours as well if she is not claimed and if they are not coming for her I doubt they are reporting her lost or stolen either.
As for her health take her to a second vet and get an opinion from them it could very well be her teeth if they are that infected. Good luck with her and let us know how it works out.
