Congrats!!! Sounds like you're off to a great start. She doesn't seem to be acting terrified and exhibiting 'abnormal' behaviors if she is just mellow. Just time and love is all she needs. A lot of time and a lot of love. Sit back and enjoy the process. Especially enjoy the no barking. If that ever kicks in you'll remember these days fondly. As other posters have said she may be naturally laid back or just need rehabilitation. Either way, just accept her as she is and each phase as it comes. You've done a wonderful thing and part of your reward is to enjoy this whole blossoming process.
