a best answer will be chosen

Answer 1

I've never heard of Animal Control not coming to pick up a domesticated animal. I would probably call the shelter and talk to someone in charge there. Where I live Animal Control and the Animal Shelter are two different entities that work together.

And actually I HAVE found a puppy before. In fact, I've found puppies a couple of times in a couple of different situations. I took it upon myself to rescue them, vet them, and adopt them out to suitable homes. But of course, I had the time, the space and the means to do it.

Answer 2

I would bring him to the animal shelter.  

Answer 3

I'd feed him, then get him to the shelter. I can't keep a puppy, but I wouldn't want him to die, either.

Answer 4

I'd keep him till I found a friend / neighbor / family-member who wanted him. Last resort would be an animal shelter... Luckily puppies are adopted faster than full-grown dogs.

Answer 5

i would take him to the vet,give him shots and keep him as a pet

Answer 6

If you are willing to put up with him for a few days put up signs saying you have found him, and that you are looking for a home for him. Otherwise take him to a no kill shelter and he will be adopted with in an average of three days. If you take him there still put up a few signs saying you found him so that any owners looking for him can find him by finding you.

Answer 7

I'd take care of him.

Put up found puppy posters and an add in a paper.

Keep an eye out for lost puppy posters and adds in the paper.

After a few days to a week, I'd take it to the local shelter, or if I knew the breed a rescue.

If nobody claimed him, I might keep him, but it depends on what's going on in my life.
