I breezed through most of the posts here, but since you hit upon what I was going to discuss, I'll chime in.
First off, if you like cars, then the count of how many you have is immaterial. I have 4 plus a motorcycle (that's basically a car a Honda Valkyrie Interstate), and looking to get a Chevy Bolt soon.
But you are looking for a Porsche with a back seat. So that leaves you with an SUV (not really a Porsche), the Panamera, or the 911 (suitable for the dog). But the rear seat of the 911 is not really a usable seat for adults. The Cayman is the Porsche you should get since it's affordable as a used car, and quite reliable (outside of a possible IMS bearing issue on the pre-'09s), and does what you buy a Porsche to do. But you're mistaken about airbag situation. The passenger airbag can be turned off in the Cayman. It's federal law that any two seat car must have a defeatible airbag so that rear-facing child safety seats can be used in the passenger seat. Your restrained pup should be as safe in the Cayman as any other vehicle he now rides in.
