I agree that you should have been able to give it a try for a few weeks. I have had 4-6 dogs at at time (6 now) and none of the introductions have been problem free at the beginning.
Rescues are great but tend to be inflexible. I would have another Japanese Chin instead of Zachary if the rescues I tried to adopt from hadn't been so insistant on my having a fenced yard, which I don't and CAN'T have. I was upset at the time but now am SOOOOOOO glad I DIDN'T get another Chin because I would not have my little boy!!
