Could it be she is afraid she is going to be abandoned somewhere again? I had a dog many years ago that did basically the same thing on short trips in the car. He would shiver and start whining as soon as I put him in the car and would finally settle down if I were going on a long ride. I tried everything,,, crating him, putting him in the front seat with me, ect. The only time he would not whine, ect when on a short trip was if I let him sit on the front seat up against my leg. In time, he did get better, so just be patient. A doggie tranquillizer from the vet might be called for although I do dislike medicating unless necessary.
