He will have a surrogate family to welcome him. Our girls (Our mama dog and her two girls) will help to get him on the right path. We had Bongo a while back, he was learning the ways of the pack. But our son fell in love with him and now he live in California.
As for his inevitable howling at night, we are going to build him a box with a window in one side. And have that opening covered with hardware cloth so he can see Chili at night and won't be so lonely. And he will be able to see everyone during the day too. He will be to small to wander about with the big dogs, but it won't be to long when he can do it.
It won't be to long before he starts learning the routine of the pack.
