fostering a dog/travel

Mr. Kipper and I are probably going to foster a dog from Cobaka's old shelter. He's been there for 2 years, because he's very "shy." We know that if he isn't adopted/fostered soon, they're going to have no choice but to put him down, due to space, and we really don't want to see that happen. Hence, the fostering idea. The issues I'm anticipating are:
  1. His shelter is now 5 hours away from where we live. They're fine with this, figuring that the exposure he receives out here may make a difference, and convince someone out here to adopt him.
  2. Since he's so shy, when we go to pick him up, should I plan on riding in the backseat with him on the way back?
  3. How do we travel with 2 dogs, rather than one?
  4. We're supposed to be out of town for almost a week in January. My father is going to house-sit/dog-sit. Should I be concerned about leaving Geno for almost a week after we've only had him for two weeks? I don't worry about Cobaka--she'll love the quality time with Grandpa.

Thanks!
