Rescue Dachshund Personality Question

Question
Hi....I volunteer with a dachshund rescue and foster dachshunds all the time however I have never run into this problem. I am fostering a 4 year old female doxie, Ruby, that used to be a breeder dog. She was recently surrendered to our rescue and has been staying with me for about 2 months now. When we first took her in...her weight and fur was healthy, her nails were trimmed, etc. So we know that she was taken care of physically. But she is definitely under-socialized..which I have dealt with before but she has almost OCD characteristics and I don't know how to help her. Where to start, she has just recently come out of her shell (and when i say this I mean, she won't cower and run when I go to pick her up)but is very scared still of the unknown...esp. men. When my husband just walks into the room....she will pace around the coffee table once, go to her bed, go to the couch, then around the coffee table again, to her bed, etc. she will do that until my husband leaves the room. I have tried to create safe havens (bed area, crate, etc.) for her so she has a place to go and it doesn't matter. When I am sitting at my computer she comes right up and asks me to pick her up which is AWESOME! But she will not let me pick her up on my left side...she will dodge me and only let me pick her up when she walks around to my right side. Any sudden movements, minor noises, or a dog barking sends her into a pacing frenzy. My house is fairly quite with a regular schedule. She does love my 13 year old dachshund. She follows her around constantly and will sit still when they are together. She will not eat or drink out of a bowl off the floor...only on my lap. Now i usually do not cater to preferences like that but she went for days and started to lose considerable weight! Once she is on my lap, she scarfs the food and water down. When I am in the house, she follows me around everywhere...i mean right on my heals and if i were to let her sit on my lap for the rest of her life...she would. Same with hiding under a blanket....she burrows under and will not move for hours on end until I come get her. She is so sweet and has never shown once ounce of aggression...very patient with my other foster dogs. I have brought her to adoption events before and surprisingly she almost did better! lets people pet her, walked around on a leash with me visiting all of the booths. She is perfectly potty trained and hardly ever barks and is a beautiful chocolate and tan mini. Anyway, at 4 years old, she could be a perfect dog for someone to adopt except for these quirks. I would love for her to be happy and to help her enjoy life. If you have any suggestions, Ruby and I would really appreciate it. Thanks for volunteering your time to help these precious furbabies!

Answer
I think this dog is workable,since it does sound like she is coming around

Getting her out in small amounts with people is a good idea,like bbqs,events ect so she can really get used to people,also encouraging men to give her little treat will help her as well,also rewarding her for even small improvments are good as well

What I think will be good for her would either to have a trainer come to your house and work on her,as that would be best so the trainer can see the problems she is having with men ect also so the trainer can be focused on her since she is a 'special needs' dog,or perhaps having someone foster her that is a trainer,trainers are the best way to deal with a dog like this,since every dog is different,and a trainer can see the problems you are having with her
