Aly,
The compressed rawhide was what I was thinking of

Thanks for all the ideas! She already has an appointment to get her teeth cleaned. I looked at them the shelter and they look terrible and then gums are swollen. It looks like she might need an extraction also. But after that I am sure she will do fine. It's just that it seems that her gums would be really soar right now. Well, doesn't matter cuz we bought the canned food just in case.

Well so far, she is going to have a stuffed hedgie, her comfy cozy bed............

Squeeky toys! I didn't even think of that! Sheesh, it's been about four years since I have had a dog. Well actually three. But Max was young and Pooka wasn't that old, still had bunches of energy.

What about those braided toys? Them seem a little unsafe to me. Perhaps she could swallow the string? What do you all think of those toys? I already bought pet vitamins and Brewers yeast with garlic for her, and a toothbrush and doggie toothpaste. I am going to try to litter box train her too. Pooka caught on right away. The shelter said she was housetrained but it would be nice to have her litter trained just in case she has to potty during the night.
