My husband found a dog on the side of the road. She looks a little like a wolf. We can't tell.

No... you can't really tell from a photo, or even in person. It's possible that someone with more experience with wolf-dogs might know what traits to look for, but it would be anatomical things rather than just appearance. There are many breeds and mixes of dog that can have a very wolf-like appearance, so it's unlikely that a stray canine will be a wolf-dog even if she appears rather wolfy.

It would be impossible to tell that sort of thing by looking at a picture. You will need to take your new dog for a checkup at the vet anyway, so ask the vet, but it is very, very unlikely.
If the dog is part wolf by some rare chance, this will not make it a worse dog to have. It's all in the training.
Good luck with your new friend!

There's no way of telling unless you know for sure. I had a Minature Pinscher/Siberian Husky/Wolf mix. He looked just like his mom with his dad's coloring. Mom was Minature Pinscher. Dad was Siberian Husky/Wolf Hybrid.
Good Luck in finding out.

Possibly...the odds are better if it is a high content wolfdog. Many owners and breeders claim (sometimes they're mistaken, sometimes they outright lie) to have wolfdogs and actually have dogs that look like wolves. I'm friends with a girl in wolfdog rescue and it happens ALL the time.

If you click my picture and the 360 link at the top, you can see pictures of my black long-haired German Shepherd. The resemblance to timberwolves is there.

Yeah, put the pic on a site, then leave a link here for us to see. I like dogs, especially puppies.

sorry to tell you but all dog breeds originated from wolves, so yes she would be part wolf

Take her to a vet they can tell you. And in most states it is perfectly ok to keep her if she is. Just check with your city/county they can tell you for sure if it is ok where you live.
