I think you are just going to have to be a bit patient. Usually, after a period of time, they grow more used to each other. For now, have you considered isolating the dog with a baby gate, perhaps in your kitchen. They they could check each other out through the gate without actually being in the same room. When I found a stray recently and had him in my home for about a week, I thought he would eat Mimi. I kept him in the utility room for a couple of days, blocked by the gate and that way my dogs and cat could go and check him out without fear of being eaten! Good luck.
