It's a hard call, deciding if a dog is a good fit. Living in a shelter is tough, and sometimes the dogs don't "show" well as a result. Is there a shelter staff member or volunteer who can give you more insight into her personality? Maybe you can visit with her somewhere quieter? Very often, the two can give a more realistic view of the dog.

Good luck!
