Hmmm. I understand! I skip the park when the 'big kids' are there. My Yorkie mix is 2.7 lbs and my biggest fear is that she'd be 'lunch' for some big dog!
Have you ever gone to meetup.com? They have small dog/toy group meetups around the USA.
It will be good for both your babies!
Listen, it sounds like your heart is set on it...Meet the baby at the shelter and follow your instinct. If you don't feel like the rescue is the 'one,' you can help her by getting the shelter to let you post pics and info here on YT and she'll have a great new home in no time. Seriously, if you have reservations, you can help her get homed without wrecking your home!
In the meantime, make sure you get some baby gates or an ex pen to keep them separate and introduce them on a walk. You are going to be walking a lot to keep them tired! It sucks at the beginning. I haul myself out of bed at 5:30 AM to get in a long walk before it gets hot here. Ick.
You watch Ceasar, so you know, besides your energy, the best thing you can do is keep them tired/relaxed. Keep all treats/ meals/ chew sticks separate for a while. You know the rescue is overweight, so you are going to need to give her lots of exercise and less food, anyway.
If you follow your heart, I think it will be OK. Make sure they are both spayed. YT will be here to support you!!
