typical of what pure breed?  My educated guess is still Heinz 57 - no way of knowing if she's rescue, just educated guesses and that's mine.  Cute dog, though.  Great to see a rescue dog in a good home no matter what kind it is.

von Lotta is the closest.  They are considered the "American Dingo".  My daughter owns this neat little dog.  After trying to figure out what kind of mix she was, she started doing some research and found a site where they had "Carolina dogs".  These dogs are believed to be the direct decendents of the first domesticated dogs and, although smaller, closely related to the dingo, (they think they crossed a land bridge and are actually split from the dingo) and discovered living in the wild down in swamps and forests of southeast US.  Although at some point they have probably bred with domestic dogs, this is the most pure strain known.  There are examples of these dogs in remote regions of India also.  Certain characteristics are typical of the Carolina dog.  Most are fawn colored, have a fish hook tail when held erect, pointed, erect ears and strong jaws.  She displays all of these physical characteristics along with white tipped feet and toes and more importantly, behavioral traits.  She's one of the coolest little dogs I've ever known, very intellegent, very social with other dogs, very pack oriented.  I just thought this was cool enough to share.  Look into it, very interesting! 

Side note, I forgot to mention, my daughter has been in touch with some people who work with these dogs, has sent pics and relayed behavior.  They believe, without doing DNA, that she is in fact a Carlolina dog.  She's been spayed so since she can't participate in a breeding program there is really no need to DNA.
