Hah, yup! I volunteer at a shelter 3x a week, so I see a lotttttt of shelter dogs. And there is truly no way to fully evaluate a dog in a shelter vs. a home - they can be different dogs in both places, understandably.
It's very good that while she is a bit "skittish" or shy, you're also seeing some boldness, bc you do want that confidence to be there.

Yes, oils are great. Coconut oil would be great, as would that Camelina oil I mentioned, fish oil etcetera. Start w/ one oil now - and then use a different one next time...alternate.
Veggies are great, mine love them. Mine also love hard boiled egg, fish of any kind, cheese, PB.
A fab kibble is Natures Logic Venison. Or, if wanting to feed raw - then Better In The Raw (you add your own raw meat), Primal, Natures Variety, Stella and Chewys.
