| It is very sweet of you to rescue the little girl. All dogs are different does you current dog get along well with other dogs, and does the rescue get along well with dogs. If you can answer yes to both call the rescue group or shelter and ask them if you can take her for a walk with your current dog and see how they interact with one another. Good Luck I hope it works |

| So I saw something on the Dog Whisperer I will pass on just in case you do not know, cause not everyone does. He said that it is very important to introduce them on neutral territory not in the house. If you can when you get home one of you start to walk the new one and the other one go inside and get your dog and then introduce them on the walk. I think the therory is they become friends outside and they are not competing for things inside, also it will tire the new dog out so it is not so nervous in the new situation. Keep us posted as to how things are going and have fun |
