Agree with the others. The dog will find a home, your husband is more important at this moment. Speak to the dogs home, any reputable home will wish to suit dog to new owners.

Your husband can't cope with the new dog. You said it. It's all you need to know. Get rid of the dog.

Send the dog back, get one already trained.

This depends on how much you really want to keep this new dog.Is it a really difficult dog? Rescue dogs do take time to settle in.
If it was a huge mistake, and your DH can’t cope with it all, and you feel the same, then regretfully take it back to the centre.Nobody wants you to be unhappy, and being a young dog will find a new owner.
I really like dogs, but feel that people come first.

Can't believe I am saying this , after 45 years of having dogs, a month or so ago we got a 4 year old rescue , DH who has been a rock during a really awful year for both us , was the instigator in getting the dog but is now finding it hard because the dog is not trained at all , so do I push him to keep the dog or look after dh who seems to struggling with everything ?
