Rescue Dog adjustment question

Hi all, we adopted our 2-3 year old cocker/terrier mix two weeks ago. She seems to be adjusting pretty well, but from time to time gets very "growly" particularly with the kids when they approach to pet her. While she hasn't bitten any one, a few of the growls have been quite intense.

Wondering how long we let her adjust, getting used to us, before we need to decide if she needs training. She is for the most part, quite sweet, but with kids, and their friends, we need to be sure that she's not going to snap.

Any thoughts, suggestions appreciated.
