I know with my Lizzie she was 2 1/2yrs old, when we adopted our first Yorkie who was 8 yrs old, she did well with her, I think she sensed that Audrey hadn't had a good life. Same as when we adopted Annie about a year after that. BUT when I brought a 12 week old Shayleigh into the picture, all 3 of them wanted nothing to do with this wild thing that was running around. They all jumped up on the couch or bed to stay away from her. Things seemd to change about 2-3 months later and then they all got along fine.
I know withe new Rescue I just adopted (Willow) who is 5 yrs old, there was no problem at all with her fitting in. I think the reason for that may be because Lizzie and Annie were mourning and depressed over the loss of Molly a few weeks before.

I know it will all work out.
