What was the dog fed while at the rescue? If she did well on it, I'd continue feeding the same thing. If not, I'd try a grain free, fish-based kibble. Sweet potatoes seem to be tolerated better than white potatoes by many sensitive dogs. Some dogs do well on turkey or duck, as well (my sensitive girl cannot tolerate anything with feathers - lol). Every dog is different.
I have a dog who's very sensitive to many kibble ingredients,especially grains, white potatoes, and fowl. She does well on Earthborn Holistic Venture Alaska Pollock Meal & Pumpkin Limited Ingredient Diet Grain-Free Dry Dog Food (she also does well on the pork flavor), Go! Sensitivity + Shine LID Pollock Recipe Grain-Free Dry Dog Food, and Victor Yukon River Salmon & Sweet Potato Grain-Free Dry Dog Food. Many people swear by Fromm, Acana or Wellness grain free kibbles. These can be found at private pet stores, or on Chewy.com. Fromm is no longer available on Chewy.com, after Petsmart bought the company.
Tractor Supply also sells grain free kibbles under their own label, 4Health. Some have potatoes in them, while some do not. You'll need to read the labels carefully.
I would avoid grain-based kibbles that advertise as being for skin sensitivites (Pro-Plan, Royal Canin, Science Diet). They are mainly grain, especially corn and wheat. These can drive a sensitive dog insane! Been there, done that.
The rescue got her late Sunday evening, they took her to the vet Monday and got her checked out and spayed and we adopted her Wednesday so she was only there a few days but they had her on Natures Select and sent some home with us. I'm using that for now, haven't decided whether to continue or not.
