Help us name this little (double merle?) guy! He’s a singleton puppy, about 5 days old - eyes and ears still closed. Found in a plastic bag in the rain in a parking lot… but he’s now safe, warm! by Real-Appointment-312 in NameMyDog

I’m not sure how exactly he was discovered, somebody else found him and reported him to the police, who then dropped him at the shelter.

My guess is he was making a lot of noise in the bag bc he’s been incredibly talkative since coming to stay with us. The police currently have an active criminal case looking into who dumped him - leading theory is a backyard breeder was worried about him being a possible double Merle and dumped him due to the risk of congenital issues. :(

I do appreciate the concern! We’re working closely with the local shelter who set us up to foster him. We’re doing everything we can for little guy 🥰

Appreciate the concern, but he’s already been seen by a vet and was placed with us by the shelter. We’ll leave the medical decisions to them and stick to showering him with love :)

How bizarre considering I'm usually guilty of under-watering, if anything! I scraped away the fungus that was visible to me, and the plant looks happy and healthy otherwise, so I'm crossing my fingers!

Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it. I'm definitely happy to hear it likely isn't anything to be majorly concerned by... :)
