I agree to a slow introduction is best. So many of these breed in shelters. Just try to help the boyfriend understand that this pup needs a loving home. I had a Staffie when I moved in with my now-husband and decided we did not need 2 houses I asked what about Nikko and he said to bring her here with us. She lived to be at least 16 and now we have her great-grand pup Nikita.No one can decide for you just talk to him and see if you can just let the dogs meet at a neutral site and see how they react.
