How old do you think he is?It is so hard to tell how old Dallas is. My vet will help determine his age. When I first saw Dallas at the shelter, he looked like an older dog, but yesterday he seemed younger. Stress, I'm sure. I'll post more after he is home and my vet has a chance to examine him on Monday. The shelter has been so accommodating.
Snow
His fostermom emailed this a.m. She is arranging for neutering and has spoken to a surgeon that volunteers his services. Hopefully, Snow's leg can be fixed. Snow is so small he can slip through the railing on my front porch! -

Thank you for helping both these dogs. Does the b have dew claws?
Often that is a clue if they came from a "quality" breeder or a for profit breeder. -

Dan, its just something I use when looking a unknow dogs and trying to find out where they come from.
The breeders on the list will let you all know they usually take the dew claws off by day 3 for the puppies.
Your breeder may have decided not do to it, but its not the "norm". -

The majority of responsible breeders in the US remove dewclaws. Also, a responsible breeder would want their puppy to come back to them if they needed to be rehomed.

I was more concerned with fleas crawling all over him, his hernia, not being neutered, and Dallas living in such a little crate when I first saw him. I'll post more when I get him home. Yesterday, when I visited Dallas, I did give him a Comfortis for fleas and left some very healthy chews and treats in his cage.
I'm praying he isn't heartworm positive. The treatment is dreadfully hard on a dog.

Oh, you have the health of the b in mind, which is the way it should be. grin!
With the fleas, make sure you get a fecal run, I always do, when dogs come in with fleas. Course, you could have this all covered.
I am so glad your opening your home and heart to this b.
We sure want to give you tons of hugs for this effort. -
