Hi all!
I've been in the process of trying to adopt a dog for the past month or so, I've been very thorough and selective through the whole process because I would be a first time dog owner. I would like a dog that would fit into my life style well, and is receptive to training.
The good news is, I THINK I might have found the dog.
The adoption organization and the foster parent both think this dog could be a good fit. Their only concern is that this dog has been living in a foster home with other dog brothers and sisters, and if I were to adopt this dog it would not have any other dog companions. This dog behaves great when it's around other dogs, but no one has any knowledge of how this dog will do when it's home alone, which it would have to be if I adopted it for a few hours every weekday.
My concerns are that this dog is a bit younger than I had originally planned. It's 3 years old, so not a puppy anymore, but I had been planning to adopt a dog that was 6 years old or older because I'm looking for a dog that's relatively calm and house trained. They say that this dog is house trained and only knows the command sit so far.
My other concern is that with some dogs, you can just kind of tell when they're happy, they smile in a sense. But in all of the videos and pictures I've seen of the dog in question so far, she has on a very serious expression. I'm nervous that I'd have a hard time telling if she was happy or annoyed at me. And in turn, I'm worried that since I don't have experience having a dog, that I wouldn't be able to meet her needs as well as someone else with more experience would.
Additionally, the foster parent has agreed to bring the dog to me since they have a car and I do not.
My questions for Reddit are:
Where should I request that we meet? And outdoor park? My home?
What should I look for when I meet this dog?
What should I do when I meet this dog?
What questions should I ask the foster parent?
General tips/advice on how to get a better sense of what this dog is like.

I don't know if I'm in the right sub but maybe someone can answer my question! My dog Cardi was spayed at 4 months old. She's almost a year now. The last few days she's been acting very weird. She stands at the edge if the fence line and whimpers at the dogs across the alley. She's tried to hump my 3 month old male dog 3 times today. And while she's never been a digger, I have 14 holes around my fence line from the last 2 days. I'm not a dog genius but I'd say she's in heat. How can this be if she's had surgery?
