My dh was at the auto parts store and when he got out of his truck he saw this little yorkie walking down the side of the highway. Cars were zooming by inches away from her and he thought she was going to be hit for sure before he could get to her. He tried calling her but when he did that she actually started to walk out into the traffic. It was a very nerve wracking few minutes, but he was able to get to her. He went inside the auto parts store and asked for an empty box to put her in because she smelled horrid and was covered in fleas. He took these two photos and sent them to me asking what he should do? I said bring her home and I would clean her up and give her a nice warm place to stay while we look for her owners. Here are the pics he sent me of her:

She was cold wet and scared when he brought her in. It has been raining pretty much all day here in Delaware. I gave her a bath and did my best to remove some of the major matts she had in her fur. This poor dog is definitely older she olny has 2 teeth and they look really bad. I don't think she has been cared for very well, but I am trying not to judge as I don't know how long she has been lost and on her own? She had a bad case of fleas and has thinning hair on her back. I am keeping her down stairs and trying to keep Tinkerbell away from her until I have taken her to a vet or the shelter. I don't know what to do. She seems like such a sweet girl and I do not want to leave her at the shelter. I think I am going to stop by the shelter in the morning just to have her scanned to see if she has a chip and talk to them about it. I hadn't planned on getting another Yorkie at this time, but sometimes things happen for a reason and my dh and I think this little girl had a guardian angel that maybe kept her safe until my dh found her. If she has owners then maybe they will have stopped by the shelter looking for her.
I would appreciate any advice as I have never gone through this process before. Thanks.
