I think many dogs do just wonderfully with a companion, even if they aren't best buddies. Do you have a friend who has a dog where you can see how he reacts to another dog...or what about a dog park?
Another thing to consider, the shelter at where I volunteer allows what we call "slumber parties" so that potential owners can have a potential adoptee come sleep over at their house so they can see how it goes/feels...keeping in mind that the shelter dog will be in "adjustment mode" since they're not used to that new enviro. Maybe there is a shelter near you that has a similar program?
