If you're willing to take the time necessary to find an amazing home for your dog - ie you're not trying to home the dog by a certain time and will place it wherever, even if it's substandard - then there's no shame in rehoming. Especially when you thought things were set up to deal with different situations (mom available for if you had a new job, a support system in place, etc).
Adopted street dogs are tough. I don't know how old the dog was when he was rescued from the street and how old he was when you actually adopted him but even rescued somewhat young can pose specific challenges. You don't know what they were exposed to (and not exposed to) during those crucial socialization periods. My cousin had one and actually did find a family with a large farm that could take in her dog and it worked incredibly well, but she took that time to find this exceptional home. If you know time is an issue and you're afraid you wont be able to find the best home in the right time, talk to a rescue. You can offer to be the foster and if "time runs out" so to say, they can probably find another foster until the right forever home comes up.
But, this doesn't mean that's your only option and your other options can be just as good. If you're able to work with a behaviorist you might be able to help with some of the issues - especially the ones that prevent your dog from being able to stay at your mother's. You might also want to check around at other daycares - they might be a little further, but you might have more options. I love Louis' daycare but realized it wouldn't work for Owen (especially since he'll be intact). Looking around I found a daycare that's much larger in scale which means they can handle much more (they can break up dogs into more specific groups).
You might also want to try to either up the exercise a little or spread it out more; some dogs end up doing better with multiple 10 minute walks instead of one 30 minute walk; especially a dog that grew up probably roaming or at least moving around during various times of the day instead of just once or twice.
You might also want to try some puzzle toys. Instead of feeding from a bowl, feed out of a kong wobbler, a treat dispensing ball, a digger bowl (which I just found out and absolutely adore especially for dogs that seem to use their paws a little more).
