I would try to find a way to re-train your rescue to not jump the fence. You can try and e-collar, a trainer, they even make electric matting you can put infront of or onto the fence for jumpers to keep them away from the fence. What about putting the dog on a tied run or putting up a roofed kennel run in the yard? It seems you put all the love, time and effort into getting the dog back into health just to rehome him.
They also make curved fence extensions so the dog can't jump over the fence bc it curves over the yard so they cant get over it. You can also put in a electric fence in front of the wooden fence so the dog learns the elec fence and cant get close enough to jump the fence.
I would seriously look into all options before rehoming. Good luck.
