Breed rescues aren't local things, they're usually groups, or networks of breeders that serve large areas

The good ones (the ones you'll want to adopt from if you're interested) will absolutely travel to get the right dog to the right home. Just a last tip on that!
My DH plays video games. A lot. Generally I'm okay with that - occasionally he can ignore housework to play, but to be perfectly honest I think we all have our vices that we'll gladly turn to instead of being responsible adults sometimes, lol. That said, once baby is here, the dynamic changes a LOT. As prepared as we can all be, there's a lot we just won't be able to be fully aware of until we're actually living it. It's hard, but I choose to have faith that DH will be able to step up. Of course, I've also seen him do that when it's necessary, which definitely makes it easier to think he will again - so I can understand it might be especially hard to do if you haven't had trials yet where your SO has had to do that. There's a common saying in my circles, women become mothers when the test is positive, men become fathers when the baby is born. It's harder for it to be tangible for them, so the changes we're experiencing are things they'll go through later.
I will say though, I've also been told that fathers will often start spending longer hours at work. My mother is convinced it's a primal reaction - that now having to support both you and baby triggers an unconscious need to do more work to support you, even if realistically that's not how it actually works. And certainly, it's possible that if your SO is really attuned to the pregnancy, maybe he's been "triggered" early, if you want to believe in this theory. But I really think that the major changes in SO's come once they hold the baby in their arms and say hello.
