Here are some docs that relate to dog adoption. I include some of the info that foster parents (me) get. It applies to adoptions in a stricter sort of way and is very informative (see foster care agreement). You may find these an interesting read.

The Roxie bio is from three years ago, she was 39lbs at the NF shelter. Note the "she doesn’t like loud, barky and in your face dogs" as you discovered first hand.

Roxie used to lick her lips sometimes when I first got her. In doggie language, she was stressed. Maybe you noticed this behaviour as well.
