| I live in Phoenix and would suggest you wait till you are out of school. Have you asked around to see if the apartments in that area will allow you to have a pet, let alone a Rott? I know when looking for housing it was almost impossible to find a place that would allow large dogs. And if they did allow big dogs they had restrictions on breeds. What will you do when you get out of school considering you go ahead, find a place to live where you can have a Rott for now. What happens when you move away from school? Are you prepared to find another place that will welcome you and your dog? I'm speaking from Arizona experience about how hard it is to rent around the area. Other places might be harder or easier but I do know Arizona is not Rott friendly when it comes to housing.
I commend you for doing research and thinking this through before you went and got a dog. You are doing the right thing by checking all avenues and doing your homework. If you just need a dog fix why don't you consider helping out Rottie rescue in Phoenix or at a shelter till you are established more? If that sounds good to you PM me with your email address.
