The little guy is crated in the living room now, but really can't stay more than over night. Our Joe is on high alert and really wants to get at him.
He was terrified outside & I had to toss a blanket over him to catch him, but is fine now that he's in -- can be picked up, turned over, etc.
He sounds kinda squeaky. Do they make little grumbly, chirpy, noises?
I left a message with Rescueme yorkie rescue, as well, & think I need to go put up some "Found" posters. Any other ideas?
Mods, feel free to move this if this isn't the right place for this post.
Thanks so much for any ideas/assistance.

Don't fully describe in FOUND posters ( I posted a pic of the found dog with my dogs and said found dog please identify her this way they had to choose which one was her out of the pictured dogS)-you don't want some weirdo claiming him and not the real owner-call the police and animal control, to report the found dog-also take him into get micro-chip scanned! I found a dog over the weekend, same deal no collar-she had a a chip though. I couldn't figure out why when I had posted on craigslist, signs in the neighborhood, the community billboard, called the police, animal control etc no one reported her missing or had responded-well her owner was out of town and the irresponsible teenager was supposed to be watching the family dog...we got her back home-hopefully a teenager got grounded and the owner won't make that mistake again, kenneling would have been way better!. Someone on here suggested eBay classifieds also, I think reporting to animal control and local police and getting dog scanned (almost all vets will do it-totally free to you) is the most important first steps-after you might have to take into a vet for an exam-you never know who needs meds or has food allergies! Be careful what you feed them and really monitor behavior! Read the "THINK LOST NOT ABANDONED"
