Ive seen dogs that looked like they had wolf in them but didnt. specially the husky/German Shepherd mix. But as for bringing the dog back into the shelter to meet the other dog is a bad idea not because of suspicion of what breed of dog it is but the fact if he was sick and you didnt know(didnt show any symptoms) all the other dogs would get that sickness as well.

He does look like the possibility of a wolf. However, there's also always the possibility that he could have some 'wolfdog' breed such as Tamaskan dog or Saarloos Wolfhond. Those chances are very very low. I have seen many husky/GSD/malamute/akita/etc mixes that looked very very wolfish & had no wolf in them... on the flipside I have seen very dog-like dogs who had feral in them. E.G. my mutt, Shasta, he is supposed to be 1/4 wolf [people I got him from said his dad was lab/wolf cross]... his looks resemble no wolf, but gosh he can act like one when he sees new dogs [believe me, he's the sweetest thing in the world though, I haven't told him he's got 'feral' and don't plan to anytime soon. He only knows he's a sweet baby boy.]

Based on pics, I'd say Wolf/Shep mix. His legs seem a little long for a Shep and his build is wrong for a Husky. Sheps and wolves can physically resemble each other especially in markings and coloring. As long as you love him and he's a good companion I'd tell everyone else to hush.

If there is any wolf there, which I doubt, it is extremely low content. I can totally seee gsd & husky.

I believe he is Shepherd/Wolf. I might be wrong, but I think he is. :) ~*Pepper*~
