A-w-w-w, he's so cute, but yes, I can see that he's so thin. I would have him looked at by a vet and get some advice, only I'd caution their usual advice about feeding Science Diet. I think that food is garbage. Anyhow, normally, you would give him smallish sized feedings, but frequently, maybe 6 different times during the day so you don't overwhelm his system, but that he gets plenty. You can increase the size of the feedings and decrease the frequency after a while...maybe a couple of weeks. Don't over do it and let him get too fat though, as might be the tendency when you feel so sorry for the poor pup. Feed a good quality puppy food like Canidae, Innova, Chicken Soup for the puppy lover's soul, Dick Van Pattens Natural Balance...something like that. Have fresh, clean water available at all times.
Keep us posted. He sounds like a sweetie and hopefully wasn't abused otherwise. If he seems well adusted emotionally, he probably wasn't.
But I'd definitely have him checked, wormed, if needed etc by the vet.
Good luck and he is adorable.
