She is precious and good for you for finding her and giving her a new home. I would bet she could have gotten away from a bad situation, you were obviously meant to be her forever home as she luckily landed in your lap.
As for purebred, there is no way on God's earth that she could ever be verified to be a purebred either from a Veterinarian or longtime knowlegable breeder. Purebred status, must be verified by the authentic registration of both parents. No Veterinarian worth their salt would ever venture into putting in writing for registration purposes that any dog is purebred. DNA genetic coding is, to the best of my knowledge, not at the place where a dog can be verified as being a purebred only.
I have seen a maltese Yorkie cross that I would be sure is purebred Yorkie but it is not. I have seen a pup that is Lhasa poodle mix, the sire was a pb Lhasa bred to Lhasa/poodle cross dam, and this pup looks like an apricot pb Miniature Poodle. But it is not.
