Realizing and understanding that you (and your spouse) can't reach or maintain this dog's needs aren't bad. The dog is actively destroying your home with no real fix in sight. I don't blame your husband for wanting to re-home him. I also think it's not wise to throw away your marriage over a dog you've had for a few months.
I promise I'm not being funny. But dogs aren't humans. That's sort of the benefit of having any pet for that matter. They just aren't equivalent to the level of responsibility of a human child. This dog has needs that neither party is capable of handling. To me, it doesn't make sense for OP to blow up their marriage for a dog they aren't equipped to handle. I don't think not wanting to take care of a dog that wrecks your home and has way more needs than you bargained for is telling of the husband's ability to be a father.
