    Ahh i am glad he is staying, dont take him to the shelter that young please. They will keep him for a while and see if someone claims him, which i doubt if they trew him out a window. If he feels scare at your home and is crying imagine that poor tiny puppy in a shelter Just breaks my heart, probably misses his mommy too. I am really glad you are keeping him, good luck and wish him the best. Cant wait to see pics.

    She already said she was keeping him, and a shelter wouldn't leave a puppy that young in the shelter it would go to a foster home.

    I don't mean to this in a spiteful way but if you think that, you are naive. Many pounds keep pups that young at their facilities.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    If he is 5 weeks old, and has teefers, go ahead and buy him a high quality puppy food (preferably NOT from a grocery store; go to a feed store, or a specialty pet store) or an all life stages food like Canidae... and add warm water and make it mushy for him. Adult dog food is fine, for a couple days. You can also add a little high quality canned dog/puppy food. Just make sure he stays hydrated!

    About the crying, he probably misses his mom & siblings. If you have any hot water bottles, you can wrap towels around that, and put it in the crate. I have also heard that putting a clock (that ticks) in there can soothe puppies.

    It's really nice that you took this puppy in! I would keep him away from the other dogs, before he visits a Vet, just to be safe.

    Warm towels right out of the dryer would help if you don't have water bottles. I hope he had a good check up at the vet! Can't wait to see pictures!

    If it's a young puppy (like one who needs formula) how can they leave it there They would have to feed every couple of hours.
