Hey I spent 20 years in dog rescue and everything your doing is great. The most important motivators to her are going to food and clean water,the fact that she already feels safer around you is a huge plus. In the comments above madnessisreal suggested being around her to get her more used to you. I would strongly stress that you not look at her directly or attempt to touch her, but also do not make your body physically lower than hers. At this point she is really scared and being young she is really unsure about everything, if she trusts you it will make her feel safer if you are the "bigger" dog. Check to see if a potential shelter has a no kill policy because in all honesty if they don't and they have a lot of animals to deal with she wont last long there. It is a harsh fact bu t true none the less. Good for you for caring enough to try and help her instead of just chasing her away as a pest
