It is simply going to take time. I adopted two pups about 4 years ago who came from a bad breeding situation. They still have some issues around other people. They are fine with me now...but that took a long time.

Just allow her to come to you when she is comfortable and let her grow and learn that she is safe with you at her own pace.

I would definitely not medicate. This is normal behavior for them...poor babies.

Bless you for adopting this precious baby. The baby steps she takes will be great moments for you to treasure!
