I’m your situation, I’d take it in immiediately - however, I am tight with my vet and I don’t think he’d charge me much for a visit like this.. I know usually, peoples’ biggest concern about a situation like this is the financial aspect of it

We reached out to them to tell them we will get him today. No response yet. We are getting it for half the price because it hasn't gotten a vet visit yet. I'll take him once he hits the 4 week mark. The vet I called was able to give me good advice. Hopefully there are no issues.

Plenty big enough to take

That picture there is just over 2 weeks old. He is certainly not old enough.

Dr Google says,

Don't feed cow's milk, as this can upset your puppy's digestive tract
Weaning certainly makes a mess of whatever area you're feeding your pup in. Around 3 1/2 weeks, start making a gruel for your puppy. A gruel is a dry puppy food moistened with warm water or warmed puppy milk replacement formula. Allow the dry kibble to soak up the milk replacement or water until it's soggy, then mix it up to the consistency of oatmeal.
Place the gruel on a flat or shallow saucer on the floor and dip your finger in it. Hold your gruel-covered finger to the puppy's mouth or nose. She should follow your finger to the saucer. The mess comes when she discovers the saucer of yummy gruel: She'll dive right in trying to lap up as much as possible. Eventually mix dry food into the gruel, and gradually increase the amount of dry food while decreasing the amount of milk replacement or water until she's eating only dry puppy food. The transition should take two to three weeks.

Almost 100% chance of that pup having Parvo

Why is that?

He isn’t the first dog to be orphaned at a young age. He will survive just get him some replacement formula.

My pup didn't have enough time with her mom, and she's pretty weird around other dogs. Taking her to the dog park helps a bit, but she just kind of does her own thing.
