My girl rottie rescued me when she was 2 also. I think at first she knew we were a little skiddish about her so she gently worked her way into our hearts. She and the dog next door got into a few scuffles until they knew each other and then were good buddies. After she came, 3 more rescues found me! So in addition to the one chihuahua I already had, came a rottie, jack russel, boxer and beagle. I guess the vacancy light burned out because no more came. In less than a month we all got used to each other and 8 1/2 years later I still have my rottie angel. I think that all things happen for a reason so just hang in there and she will show you why she picked you. Mine just came up and laid at my feet while I've been emailing. God bless-you are lucky!
