It may take several weeks for the two dogs to get used to each other, so patience is required. But most of the time, dogs are accepting of other dogs, often welcoming the companionship. Your current dog and your new dog could become best friends within a few days. Or, they might simply learn to live with one another after many, many months. Chances are, your dogs will fall somewhere in the middle. Though many dogs can eventually be left alone together, you should not let this happen for a long time (at least the first few months). Be patient as each dog's adaptation process varies, and monitor body language to ensure the dogs feel comfortable with each other.
