Also, the signs of discomfort a dog gives other than growling are often too subtle for most humans to read. I would suggest a phone call to the rescue centre, a vet visit and a GOOD behaviourist who uses REWARD BASED methods.
For once I have to agree with Jackson. With any type of aggression problems you MUST seek profession help.

It is also possible that your dog has a medical problem which caused her to lash out. I would ask that you give her another chance, and PLEASE seek veterinary help, who will then refer you to their chosen behaviourist. She may not get a second chance
