Ok, Let me explain what I mean by rescue, The person I got him from has had him in a small outdoor lawn mower building, that reeks of gas and oil and had only fed in once in the month that hes had him. The original owner (the person who had him before the person I got him from) took very good care of him from what I was told, but got arrested and will be gone for a long time. I couldnt see him stuck in a small building where the only heat he got was from outside.
Oh, and yes, I meant feet. He is approximately 2 feet and 3 inches long.
Would you by chance know by looking, what breed he is? (I say he, but that just a guess lol)
