Rissa,
We adopted our shih tzu from a puppy mill when she was still a little skinny thing. She has grown into a wonderful healthy adult 10.5 years old now) with very few problems. Once she gets to know people and gets rid of her shyness with them everyone falls in love with her because she is just the sweetest little thing. She mothers everyone but I don't know where she got it from since she was so young when we got her she couldn't possibly have picked it up from another dog.
Anyway. Don't worry about your dog having any emotional problems. I'm sure it will be fine. Even the adult dogs we rescued eventually turned into great dogs. Love is the best thing you can give them and I think you have plenty of that!
