Should I finally crack and give her up?

So I've had my dog for a year now, and, she has... quite a few issues. She's EXTREMELY anxious when seperated, toys won't keep her in a crate, food, will not keep her in a crate... if I give her a bed to lay on she'll shred it. She busts out every time I leave home and destroys everything, she's been ripping apart the window on our back door, she's destroyed our miniblinds today for probably the twelth time this year. She likes to tear bags and boxes up, gets into anything and everything (she drank an entire bottle of hydrogen proxide once...) and I'm just tired...

I'm moving out to be on my own soon, in my own home, I can't afford the constant destruction she brings, and I can't afford my puppies learning her behavior either. When I'm home I mean, she's a great dog! Quiet, playful, relaxed, gentle, and she listens really well...

I can't do this though. She jumps the fence often to explorer and I don't want my husky puppy learning that (she's also husky mix), I'm moving to somewhere that gets to below freezing temps, if she does that there she'll die. I feel like at least every other week I ask about what I can do with or for her and... I'm tired of all this.

I got offers from two great people earlier, one who works on a big farm and one who loves hiking and traveling, both who want dogs earlier today when I put up an ad for one of my mom's dogs that she said to get rid of... I'm seriously considering it now, but I know she's not necessarily good with men, and I know she'll freak out the moment I'm not in sight anymore. I know she'll destroy their homes to eventually, like, I want what's best for her, I want her to be safe, I want her to be happy but... I don't know anymore. I can't keep doing this with her. Nothing I ever do will stop her, I feel like even with training I'd be wasting money that I dont even have right now because I've done all I can 🤷‍♀️ what the hell is a trainer going to do for her that I haven't already tried? That'll be a waste of 300 to 800 dollars right there... Should I finally give up and give her away? I really don't want to, I love this stupid clingy dog, but... she's too destructive...

I honestly can't do this anymore.
