Can anyone tell me what kind of puppy I have? I went to the shelter yesterday and I was told that This ittle guy was due to be put down TODAY!!! He was dropped off at the shelter at 2 days old with his 7 brothers and sisters. He is now 5 weeks old!

OMIgosh, how precious!

Could be a lot of things - you should be able to tell when he gets a bit older.

My best guess now, with his age and the photos you provided, would be a Shepherd mix.

Oh my gosh how cute!! I'm so glad you got there in time to get him

I just wanted to mention about that little rawhide bone there, to be careful with the ones with the knots on the end like that. My mother in laws dog pulled one of those off and choked on it a few years ago. She buys the strait ones now with no knob on the end and hasn't had any problems.. but.. I just thought you should know, they can come off.

Oh wow....Thanks for that information. I had no Idea. We give them to my pitt bull all the time. I'll have to start buying the straight ones.

Here are som better pictures! I am just so anxious to know what he can be mixed with. We decided to name him Kano.

He is so precious!!!

Can't help you with the breed but it is pretty sad that a shelter is willing to euthanize a puppy just a few weeks old. Don't they have another dog that could have been a surrogate mother?

Oh my gosh!! He is adorable!! Just from the coloring (and this just a huge guess) He looks like a GSD/chow mix I had. But he could be anything.

They told me that the only other femaile dog they had was already feeding 7 pups, and they said her body could not handle this litter as well. They bottle fed them and for 4 weeks then switched them over to wet food. None of them got put to sleep because there were two left and I posted adds everywhere I could think of and they both got ADOPTED!!!! But yes they were going to put them down, it was so sad. I do not understant how anyone can just take puppies away from the mother at 2 days old! If you cant handle puppies then get your dog FIXED! Just my two cents!
