Also, make sure you're not brushing a dry coat. I love Cloud Star's Buddy Splash it is filled with herbs and natural oil. A good quality brush helps to - the Chris Christensen brush I have was worth every penny.

I wonder if stress is also playing a part. So many possibilities with a rescue. Thank you for giving her a forever home.
Thank you for all your information..I will look for all these products you have mentioned and also for the brush. I always brush my dogs dry..I didnt know they should be wet...boy I seiously learn something new daily here on YT!! I wonder about stress too!! When I picked her up she had a VERY strong mediciney smell on her..I can actually still smell it a bit too..hmmm...I used Mane and Tail shampoo and I use the conditioner too but I have yet to bathe her.
