I agree you all have done everything expected and more to find the original owners. I think you have yourself a new puppy! Merry Christmas -- sounds like this was a big gift for the puppy -- getting a home where he can be loved like he deserves! Thankful that you, your grandmother and the first lady who took him out of the road and cold were all there to protect him when he needed it most!

So glad you rescued this puppy! I agree it sounds like you have followed the correct process to try and locate the original owner. Unfortunately, they have not come forward.

As you say, go ahead and leave the fliers up; but I would proceed from here on out as though he were mine.

IF the owners show up ~ well, let's cross that bridge if you come to it.

If he were to be picked up by animal control he would be held for so many days then placed up for adoption. The owners would have no recourse at that point. You can leave the fliers up for a little longer. I would do what needs to be done, keep reciepts and if the owner does return to claim him they should have to reinburse you for the care you provided. If not then he will for sure be yours.

However we spoke with the woman at the dog warden's dept today and she said that we can do what we need to do (he needs surgery on his teeth) and if the owners come forward then my grandmother can fill out a special form for her city taxes to try and get some of the money back. The woman at the dog warden's dept also told us to have him neutered and said she would mail us a free voucher to have it done so if his owners come back they will get one heck of a surprise.

Oh, I understand what you are saying now. It really sounds like you are doing everything you can!

By the way, he's adorable!
