Getting them used to a crate is extremely important because they are used in emergencies, for any stays at Vets and groomers and so on. Another option would be to set up an exercise pen in your bedroom and have a bed for her in there. I love the buddy belt harnesses because they don’t put any pressure on their tracheas and last their lifetime normally. Step in harnesses are generally better. I use a snoozer car seat in the car where it’s like an elevated bed and there are many different types and brands out there. I would stop the raw because it isn’t safe and posses health risks to not just her but anyone who comes in contact with her. I would try maybe some wet food mixed with dry food in a good brand like Royal Canin.

That way if you need to stop suddenly she won't be affected. Also, the first couple of nights might be good to have her in a crate nearby your bed so she can see you. That will make her feel more secure. I might not put her in the bed right away since she is not used to it, if she falls or jumps off, she could break her neck. So many dangers lurking for the little ones. Good luck to you and thank you for rescuing! Please keep us posted on how it goes for you.

As ladyjane suggested, go to Pet Supplies, Pet Smart, PetCo and look at the harnesses they have. I don't know why anyone would say a harness is "heavy". You do not need a special harness to take your pup in a car, whatever harness you choose to walk the dog can be used in a car as well.
I take my fur kid with me a lot, he has a booster seat that is elevated off the passenger seat, he can see out of the window, this also helps eliminates car sickness. There are many types of booster seats, you can google " dog booster seats" and choose what you think would be ideal for your new pup, I suggest getting a larger one that may go by weight of dog, this way there is extra room for the dog to lay down and sleep.
I am also not a fan of raw dog food because of the bacteria factor, however, this dog will be coming to a new home, with you as a new person, new smells, sound, sights, schedules, kinda over whelming for a wee lil fur baby. For this reason only, I suggest keeping her on the same raw food as she was eating until she is fully settled in and adjusted to her new home. Then gradually transition her to a good quality kibble. Sorry I cannot suggest any raw foods as I never fed any of my dogs raw.
My kid sleeps in my bed with me, that's how I trained him. Your new baby may find it hard adjusting to sleeping alone since she did sleep with her prev. owner, she may cry, whine or bark for several days or longer while going through this adjustment, even tho you wrote she was in a kennel with another dog that does not mean in a real home with new humans she will accept sleeping alone, even in the kennel she wasn't truly alone, there was another dog with her.
Keep in mind yorkies have no under coat, they have hair, they must be kept warm especially at night with no drafts around, whatever bed you select I suggest putting a balnket in it so she can dig a little nest to cuddle into.
I hope I have answered all your questions and added some suggestions . Please keep us posted how her adjust is coming along.
Did you select a new name for her?
