Good post. Also, I'd just like to add that what you were saying about her running back in her crate and being use to staying in there for hours. An ideal home for her would be someone that is a stay at home or work from home. I'm involved with rescue and have seen dogs like Lolita. I'm not sure of her background but from your description it appears that she was in a kennel situation where she had little contact and spent most of her time in a cage being solely used for breeding. She'll come around but I personally would NOT use the crate. We just went through this with a little male I took in in September. We got rid of his crate and instead replaced it with a bed and never looked back. A quiet home also with just another small dog would probably work out better as well. It will take some time to bring her around but they are truly the ones that appreciate the home you give them. They have so much to give. PLEASE do check references and even a home visit if possible. Best of luck. Elaine
