I would say it depends on Reginald's temperment. When my previous dog (Shiro) started getting old, he was less and less inclined to want other dogs around. He grew up around other dogs, but eventually my uncle decided to give him to me so he could be an only dog and live out his golden years in solitude. I wanted to have another dog at the time, but that was out of the question.
On the other hand, since you already have other dogs, Reginald may be indifferent to having just one more around. Having an older dog can sometimes be a great influence for the foster and for Reginald. Are you considering an older dog or a young one?
My uncle had 3 yorkies that were all 15+ years old. They adopted a dog that was about 2 years old, and two of the yorkies started acting young again in spurts and seemed to have more energy. They were kept separate for parts of the day to give the yorkies their space and rest, but the two really bonded with the younger pup and the other one was just indifferent. So it really depends on Reginald and how you feel he'll take it.
