How about a heartworm check? Did they do that?

Has he been neutered?

He has major changes in his short life. Drastic grooming cuts can affect some of them. He may feel naked. I would try to coax him out of his "mood" by trying to play with him and offer him healthy treats for being a good boy.

The shaking is concerning. How much does he weigh? He may be having some issues with hypoglycemia. Do you have nutrical to give him?

The dr said he's healthy, but health isn't always obvious just by a visual check and blood work can tell a lot more.
It's pretty standard to vaccinate rescues without titers.

Heartworm test would be a good idea and he should be put on a preventative like Heartguard.

Here is a great article that might help with his adjustment. Although it is titled rehabbing a puppymill rescue the suggestions would help in this situation too.

The true personality in a rehomed dog will usually come out within 2 weeks. Just work with him to assure that things are alright. The grooming might have caused him some trauma. Good luck and keep us posted.
