Sounds like she may have been abused by a male and she's now afraid of all males. My GF picked up a stray that was like that and she nursed it back to health. It took a long time and a lot of patience, but in time the dog came to accept me and we got to be good friends. She even looked forward to playing with me whenever I was around. One of the things I learned was to be careful of my body language around the dog until she learned to trust me. I was careful approaching her and learned to keep my hands down by my sides.
