From the shape of the head and snout, I wanna say pit bull or boxer mix.

i was thinkin some kinda terrier mix lab maybe but not sure.  the head is kinda small and thin and short.  so boxer i wouldnt think but from that pic its hard to tell maybe i hav eto take another.  now that shes got some food in her belly and isnt starvin her head is small compared to the body.

How big is this pup? That would help too.
Terrier mix is a safe bet, as pit bulls are a type of terrier.

She/he might have run off during the fireworks from someone close by, try some flyers?

Toss her/him a cheeseburger on me.... :)

If you want to give it a case of enteritis on top of the possible intestinal parasite infestation. Some good quality puppy food would be safer.

yeah i tried some flyers and went around the immediate neighbors but noone seen her before.  im givein her some good puppy food.  she needs a vet though.  has a little diarreah so probably worms.  from her loooks some one was gonna have her for a dog but wasnt gonna take care of her.  shes sweet.  playfull and cute.  shes small right now.  maybe like 10 pounds  not super big.  ill get a better pic of her when i get back from work thursday and post.

Then go with terrier mix.  Stay away from those OTC wormers, a complete waste of time and money, unless you can get some Nemex or strongid T. You can give her some PLAIN (regular strength) peptobismol, about 1/2 tsp, to help control the diarrhea, though it will not help if it is viral related.

Have you tried posting on Craigslist?  They have a Pet section as well as a Lost & Found.

Nick I was thinking mrairportjunke was looking to drop the puppy at your vet for you to take a look at it :P

Well the only thing is that I am thinking there is some sort of large dog in the mix.. look at the feet.. they are HUGE.
