I adopted a rescue dog three years ago as an adult. It takes a month or so for the true personality to emerge.....and usually with a TON of baggage to go with it. Love and patience will win the day.
Professional advice would be helpful; do tons of research and find some help. Using dominance exercises on a dog with that much anxiety will not be effective and will set your cause way back.
I haven't had the same experience with my rescue dog, but it still took almost a year before he learned how to play with toys. There are many people here with rescue dogs.......perhaps they will weigh in on your question.
I wish you luck; meantime, keep her on a leash both inside and outside the house. Keep her with you, build her confidence with treats and praise when she performs accepted behavior. Begin again with the bonding process and teach her what is expected with love and praise.
