  1. I was thinking the same thing. He looks like a fox and his tail is odd looking. I don't know much about dog breeds as I usually just had a mutt. Are you keeping him? Paula

  3. Looks like a Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) to me.  They are very sweet tempered dogs.

  4. Awww... poor thing.  He does look kind of like a sheltie.  That maybe had a really close haircut.  I think that's why his tail looks like that.  I hope you find a good home for him.

  8. hi,
    posibly a sheltie / terrier mix,
    looks like his coat has been cut (badly)    so maybe easlier to tell when its grown a bit

  10. He looks part Collie, part Sheltie.  Well, he's a Heinz 57.  He's a lot of things.  Bless his heart.  He looks so skinny and frail.  I hope you can fatten him up and get him a good home.  That's so awful that people do drop offs like that.

  11. I was thinking Collie, but he's kind of small for one. No matter what, I think your rather kind to take him in and care for him till you find him a home. Poor thing looks so frail and skinny. (Hugs)Indigo

  12. After my comment I went and looked up what type of dogs were similiar to a Collie but smaller. Add in the fact this one looks like it was given a bad haircut. I think I have your answer it's a Shetland Sheep dog. I'm including a link of what they look like with all their hair. I hope this helps.

  14. He looks foxy-coyote to me. I am sooo glad you don't live near me. I am getting weak just looking at him, & if you leaved nearby I could see myself easily convinced(though the kittens would be very upset with me).

  16. Hi Eler Beth!
    I'm one of your mom's friends who has fallen way behind on my journal reading, sorry I'm just getting here. It sure looks like you've got the hang of journaling, glad you've decided to join us!
    What a coincidence that the little dog you found looks like a fox! I hope he's ok, poor little guy.
    Good luck getting your new room done! I love the colors you're thinking about using.
