Some dogs do appear to be claustrophobic. If it is clean and not destructive when left alone in the home, I would not insist that it be crated. The ripping of bedding is indicative of extreme anxiety. It could be that it was crated and left for long periods, or is remembering a shelter experience - you'll probably never know unless the foster family has it's history. But, you can teach her to go to her bed instead of a crate, if you prefer. Also, do not coddle her with regard to food or treats. Otherwise, you may create a very finicky eater.
