First time adopting a street pup? What initial care and vaccines?

Well I intend to adopt this adorable Indian street pup around 30cm length weighing around 2 to 3 KGS. Not sure about age. As a first timer how do I get it vaccinated and which vaccine. What other care should be taken? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 6 lbs

Hello. It is best to have this puppy examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible to check & treat for any intestinal parasites & any possible coat or skin issues such as mange, fleas & ticks. The veterinarian can guestimate the puppies age & recommend the vaccinations that are appropriate to the puppies age & what diseases are present in your area. Thank you so much for rescuing this puppy & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
