Sounds like you've done a lot of research. Congrats on your decision!
A kennel is definitely a good idea. Also, getting her on a Friday is a great idea, too. You can spend the weekend bonding.
Cesar Millan (not everybody's favorite person, but not all of his advice is controversial, LOL) recommends taking the dog for a walk around the neighborhood before you bring it inside your home -- it will be a little tired and in a more receptive and quiet mindset.
I know with puppies, you take them directly to the bathroom location and let them go to the bathroom before they get to explore the house...
If she's recovering from a spay, that will affect her activity level at first, too. Maybe they can do the procedure and have her recovery scheduled so she's had a couple of days before you take her home?
Good luck! I'm sure someone will come in with more info.
