Oh boy, do I hate to be the detractor here but......what if:
1. You and the bf break up (hate to mention that, sorry!) but if that happened, would you be able to rent/buy a place by yourself that allowed 2 large dogs?
2. How does your bf take surprises? For example, is he likely to love and accept another BP or will he resent him, and if he did resent him, how would the bf treat the pup?
I'm sure that you've thought of these questions, but I had to mention them just in case.... I kinda like Jane's idea of fostering so that you can see how Miles & the bf both react before committing, but the problem is that this sweet boy is going to think that he is "home" once he gets to your house and you're most likely going to be head over heels in love (I know that I would be
), so it's a gamble for all involved. Is this pup safe in that shelter or is he at risk to be PTS since he's been there so long? That would have to be a huge part of my decision. If you take him & it doesn't work out with Miles or the bf, do you have a back up solution like a friend or family member that would be willing to adopt him? JMHO
I think that it's wonderful that you want to help him! ((Hugs)) whatever you decide.....
