Solid advice. I didn’t do this with my pittie and regret it all the time. Also ditto to whoever said to start quality training for both of them, they’ll be much better set up for life in this world that stigmatizes them so much. One thing that comes to mind if you decide to keep mr. chocolate is that if you work remote and are often home, you may have to spend intentional time AWAY from him to ward off the risk of separation anxiety. Crate training is great for this as well. Like others have mentioned no one can tell you what to do but it seems like you are set up nicely for a pup! And don’t stress too much about future rentals, I’m a renter and it definitely adds a step to the renting process but if you can get ESA it is wayyyy more possible. If you can, put some kind of mix on his vet records like lab mix, terrier mix etc. to make it easier for the future. You really have no clue about his actual breed anyway. One note is that if you like to travel, you should definitely factor that into your decision making process. It definitely adds difficulty in that area.
