Hi Kim. Just take it slow and don't force her. Being that she came from a puppy mill, she's probably not used to be "handled". Try to keep the excitement at a minimum for her for the first week or so. Baby talk to her and offer her treats. Try quietly sitting on the floor with a handful of treats. Let her come to you. And remember how big you appear to her. Good luck to you both. ~Lacey
