Start off by crate training her. Most dogs will not go potty where they sleep. Make her earn her freedom. She can be loose while your watching but at night and when you are away use the crate. I usually reccomend about a month, slowly letting the newbie have more and more freedom if she is doing well. Also even if the dogs seem to be getting along feed separate and pick up any favorite beds or toys the first couple weeks. I always tell adopters bringing home a new dog is like making a new friend, it takes time. Also don't be surprised if they get in a few arguments, they have to figure each other out. Thanks for considering rescue and good luck!
