On Saturday we will be bringing home a foster girl. She is an 8 month old husky/shep cross who was days away from being euthanized because she was an untrained puppy. The owners decided that she was too much work and they didn't have time for her. Instead of wanting to rehome her they wanted to just have it over and done with. So of course we decided to take her into our home until a wonderful forever home could be found for her.
She is going to need tons of work. She needs to learn proper manners and have all of her basic training except for house breaking (Thank God!) and learn to live as part of a family. She has only been kept in doors during the nights, so this will be a big change for her. My fiance and I are comfortable with having to train her, but we are wondering about the transition of two dogs to three. Are there any major differences in the pack dynamic that I may not be aware of? Do any of you three dog homes have any advise that you could give me? Thanks!

That will make all the difference to her future family I am sure.
