Default Yorkie with broken front legs

Yes it's legs, as in both of them. The rescue I work for recently rescued a 3 month old yorkie pup and now we found he has broken both his front legs, it is an old injury too, he may have been broken 4-6 weeks already. They are going to fix one leg at a time, fixing the worse of the two first then seeing how that heals. I was thinking of fostering him while he recovers but I've never had a broken dog before. My main worry would be my girl Molli, she likes to play and plays rough. I wonder if he would heal better here or in the shelter. Has anyone been through rehabbing a dog like this? I want to help him but I don't want to make things worse for him. Plus there would be days when he might be in his kennel for 4-5 hours. Of course at the shelter it'd be longer than that. I wouldn't think anyone else would offer to foster especially if he needs physical therapy And he still might not make it I'm just so torn. If he weren't a puppy I would be more eager to try
