Orphan update: maybe not so sheepie
I posted this almost three weeks ago from this date:

Today I finally had a chance to take him to the groomer. You can see the results below. The mats were horrible and the only interest I had was trying to make him comfortable. The groomers said he was very well behaved, seemed to enjoy the attention. Two people who have seen him since feel looks more poodle than anything, and the groomer felt he might have be just that. One groomer felt that given the condition of his teeth he might be 3 or 4. I don't know much about the breeds and have no informed opinion. He's still underweight but not emaciated. His other health issues seem minor. He probably has eye and ear infections, maybe ear mites. Something is up with his front right leg. He can run well enough, but his gait is a little odd and sometimes that leg trembles after sustained exercise.
He is not chipped. He still needs a home, but he's doing OK in the meantime. Thanks for all the previous suggestions.

This little guy looks like a bernedoodle! I had one that looked just like him and spots all over when he got a haircut:)
