Lovesick dog barking too much!

My dog is a rescued dog and has been with us for about 6 months now. He's generally very well behaved and not noisy. But for the past week, he has been barking a lot and its worse these few days. It appears that our neighbour's (a few doors down) dog is a female dog. She's probably in heat and that's why our dog is going crazy. whenever our dog is out of the house, he goes straight to the neighbour's house and will sit quietly outside their gate the whole day. If we bring him back home, he will bark non-stop. To avoid me and everybody in my street from going crazy, I have resorted to letting him out at night where he will go straight to the female dog's house, so that we can all have a peaceful night sleep. We drag him home in the morning before we leave for work, and the barking will start. My question is this. (1) How long is a female dog in heat? (2) My dog is about 6 years old, is he too old to be 'snip-snip'? (3) With regards to question 2, will this make him more quiet and not so crazy? Please assist. Do you all have any other suggestions? I cannot tahan all this noise!
