Have you ever tried giving him a calming aid when you leave? Try leaving a piece of worn clothing of yours in a crate with him. Try using an x-pen and give him a pee pad, toys, etc. Maybe put a blanket underneath or something you wouldn't care about if he destroyed it. Do you have a plastic crate or a wire one? A lot of dogs don't like the plastic ones because it's harder to see out of.

Here's what I think... he's already been rehomed and he's scared of abandonment... do you know the people you got him from? Do you know his past? My Smokey was 6 months when we got him and we were his 5th home. We went through EVERYTHING with him but you have to be PATIENT. If you can't be patient, then you should give him to someone who will because if you aren't, then he will just get worse and it's not fair to him. Smokey is now going on 2 years old and is so much better... still working on pottying training, but it's worth it for me by the love he gives. I'm also 21 and a military wife and don't have a lot of money to spend.
