It is interesting that you have taken in a dog that had been starving that is now fussy about kibble? WOW! She must know she hit the jackpot. I have taken in several dogs that were in similar situations and eating was never an issue. If she were mine I would pick a very good quality kibble and stick with it. Believe me, if she gets hungry enough, she will eat it. A good way to make this happen is to offer the food for about 10-15 minutes. If she eats, great if not, pick it up until the next meal. Plan to feed her a minimum of 2 times a day at that age, 3 would be better. Keep her on a schedule. That makes potty training and everything much easier. I feed at 5:00am 4:00pm and a little more at 10:00pm. Potty breaks always follow eating. Make sure she is being left out often enough to go potty outside and praise like crazy when going out. If she has an accident in the house, don't do anything but take her outside. If you actually catch her in the act, say "NO" firmly and then let her out.
This would be a great time for you to NILIF to your training. There is a sticky that explains that in detail in the training forum.
God Bless you for taking in a rescued dog. They tend to pay you back 1000 times over.
