She is just fine and you are doing everything you can.
You provide plenty of water and shade and even the option to come in and get under the fan.
A lot of outside dogs don't have it nearly as good as your dog. In my town a dog was recently found tied up in a fenced backyard with NO water and not even any shade to get out of the 100+ temperatures.
Thank goodness a neighbor reported it to the police and the dog was rescued.
A lot of people don't realize that cruelty to an animal is against the law and punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. This includes neglect and abuse occurring on the owner's own property as well as leaving a dog in a hot car. I think we should try to make more people aware of this so if they do see something they will report it.
