A tough decision

My Younger GSD was adopted by us through a rescue. They did a courtesy listing of the dog. The family that had him did NOT disclose everything. He was quite food and treat agressive (among other things too numerous to mention). We have worked with him over the past year and I thought we had made excellent progress. Well he bit my oldest a few weeks ago when he was just walking by him no instigating no warning nothing. He got him pretty bad broke he skin etc. Since then we have had the dog between the backyard, in for dinner and water and crated at night, keeping him away from the kids.
I have to find him a new home ASAP. The problem? Since I am honest the rescue will not take him because he has bitten, the shelter won't take him either for the same reason. I will not let a family with kids take him (He is fine around adults and submissive). I will not dupe a family like the ones we got him from did. I do not want to have to have him put down either! But it is not looking good. The options for a dog who has bitten are slim.
