It will take her a while to settle in. For now I'd recommend that they go outside with her, teach her a pee and a poop command and then bring her in after she's finished. She may never be comfortable staying outside on her own.

Rafi is like this even now. He sits in front of the door and looks inside and if I forget to give him the "Go Pee" command he won't even go in the yard but just turns around and stands or sits at the door waiting for me. He just doesn't like to be out on his own. I've taught him to stay out at the cottage when he is wet from swimming but even then he just lies next to the door. This is pretty typical gsd behavior, even when they're not rescues.
