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!

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.

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.

Often staffers will foster it at home for a couple weeks, part of the territory!

I'm not sure exactly which one it was, but one of the Animal Controls in Detroit was under investigation and that was one of the concerns that had been cited.

(But yes, any decent shelter should have someone looking after the puppies.)

I know many young BC pups that we have rescued from shelters because they were too young to be there but staff didn't care. Many wind up dieing.

Also, I disagree with sticking him on a high quality food right away. I run into a problem with my fosters when they come in and we give them Acana. They get the runs and don't stop until they are fed a slightly lower quality food.

None of my fosters have ever been able to handle high quality food.

Back on topic, though...

I would suggest Nutro. Or Pedigree (many here will disagree with me on that, though).

It's nice to know you are keeping him! That pup is so lucky he wasn't severely injured when that idiot threw him out the window.

I think you need to post some pictures of him!

Another good food and some might disagree is Purina Pro Plan, Reilly has been on that from day one and it is excellent for him, and he really likes it, you can get it at feed store or petco. You also might try putting a stuffed animal of some kind in the crate with him, I did that with Reilly for a while, one designed for dogs, it calmed him down some and gave him something to snuggle up with.
