Good luck tomorrow, it's great that you are considering a rescue. I hope they get along and he stays. Remember, sometimes dogs get cranky with each other and have small spats. I usually let them work it out, but never let it escalate. Dogs have their own methods of communicating with each other. I just never let them really fight, but I do let them growl or snark at each other from time to time. Lizzie had the worse bed manners when I first got her, she would just walk all over me (which is okay), but the other dogs really took exception to it!
Whenever I have fostered a male dog (Italian Greyhound), the first thing I do is give him a belly band. I can relaxe more and so can the rescue. After a couple days, if the band stays dry, I take it off. The dogs get really good about waiting at the door for me to put the band on or take it off.
