If it were me I'd pack up his stuff and make sure it all goes with him and then go nc. I'd even leave it out front for him so you don't have to see him. He dumped you and now he's leaving the back door open to come back when his other options don't work out. He dumped your dogs too. Don't be tempted to be reasonable and let him have one if you were thinking it. My exah insisted on keeping two of our cats and nearly starved them to death and my DD and I had to rescue them while he was passed out drunk at 11 am. He didn't notice for a month they'd gone. He can't look after himself never mind a dog. The missing him will ease when you go NC.
