If she accepts it right off, there should not be any problem.

Some bitches may accept a stranger,others will KILL IT!!! If you're not QUICK & able to "read" a dog......don't even try it. Mangled carcasses aren't pleasant to handle. Be VERY careful!!!!

Take your dogs' puppy and the orphaned puppy and "rub" them together, GENTLY, to get some of the scent on the new puppy, then put both pups with your dog, watch her closely, she will probably accept it right away. If you see any signs of aggression toward the puppy, get it out of there. It should be fine though, lots of *itches foster orphaned pups, and even other species, I've seen cases where a *itch will take orphaned kittens, and even a squirrel!

As long as the pup and it's mother are free of disease and parasites, and as long as YOUR b*tch accepts the pup, there is no reason why you can't do that. When my Rainbow had her c-section, Mouse had a 5 day-old litter of three. While Rainbow was under and recovering from the anesthetic, I gave the 7 pups to Mouse to look after. Later on when Rainbow was looking after her own pups, I gave a couple to Mouse to look after, since she was a big girl with only 3 pups, and Rainbow was smaller and looking after 7.

I know it may be different, but I'd think that the dog would take care of another dog's puppy. I had a cat, and the original mother wouldn’t take care of her kittens, so my other cat did.
