Oh how excited you sound and rightfully so! I know I would be going crazy waiting. Time seems to stand still when there is something your waiting for.

If I may make a sugestion regarding introducing the new dog to your brothers dog, only because it has always worked best for everyone I know including myself and dogs I have rescued and taken to their foster home where there are other animals. Let them meet on neutral territory first, a park, or even a parking lot where it's not busy. Never had any problems doing it this way even if it's a dog we have had for years meeting a new dog. It seems to stop the territorial problem and lets them get to know each other prior to being in the same house.

Good luck and can't wait to hear if she is the one for you and see a picture.
