she's actually pretty well trained. She actually hasn't had any accidents inside the house for the month i've been caring for her. She used to bark and whine at night time when she's left alone but she stopped after a week or so. As far as socialization goes, she got along with my dog (welsh corgi) and my cousin's dog (miniature schnauzer). However, it does take some time for her to warm up to them (she gets scared when she first meets new dogs). I think she'll make a great companion for anyone that has the time to spend time to care for her and build up her confidence.
