Sorry for the late reply. I was at Road Atlanta the past two days for Petit LeMans.
Regarding the house training - she was clearly an outside dog when she was found and she was not house trained. My girlfriend has been working with her over the past week to get her house trained. After all, we don't want her peeing in our apartments either.
She's learning rather quick, and I think she is understanding that the other dogs go outside to pee - not in the house. She is fairly young, her teeth are completely white so she is still very trainable and she's learning fast. She seems more than happy to be indoors, and really doesn't want to be left outside long. I suppose it's because she was left outside for an extended period of time without food or water.
About the cats, I have not seen her around any cats because we don't have any. However, she gets along with our other dogs just fine. I wouldn't expect her to have any issues with cats. She's very laid back and wants to sleep/cuddle a lot of the time. If you wanted to see if she could adjust to your cats, you got try it out. If things don't work out we could continue to foster her.
She likes the rawhide chews that we give our other dogs, but she has never made an attempt to chew on anything she shouldn't. In fact, the first time she squeaked one of the dog toys she got quite scared. I suppose she had never played with a dog toy before.
If you have any more questions about her please let me know. She needs a permanent home and would honestly make a wonderful pet.
