Terrible situation you're in. I feel for you. I had a similar one a few years ago that I had to give up my dog of 8 years, because I was working too much. It was, and still is, the single hardest decision I have ever made. But I know he's in a happier home, with a family that loves him. They keep in contact with me from time to time and send me pictures. I get to visit every so often as well. Both myself and my pup were for the better by it.
I used kijiji and put an ad up. I was very strict about where my pup went, and had to feel good about the family I was giving him too. I went through probably 7-8 people before a girl from Paws On Training, I believe that's the name, contacted me and said she rehomed dogs. Her name was Amanda. She put me in contact with a handful of families in a sort of meet and greet, and I got to choose the best family for my puppy. I don't have the number anymore, but I think Minnie's offer sounds very similar to what I had, and sounds amazing.
Like I said, it was a trying and emotional process and I cried for 2 weeks straight leading up to it, and 2 weeks after. I still tear up when I see him and have to say goodbye. But he's in a better place, and he has a new best friend the past 4 years.
Good luck, and remember that it's for the best, no matter which friend you decide to part with and give to another loving family.
And just cause, a picture of my puppy and him and his BFF sleeping.
