Putting human emotions on dogs (like depression) is called anthropomorphism. There is no way to quantify this in dogs. Is it possible the puppy with be confused and unsure of what is going on if you give her away - but to label it depression......no one knows. But it will better that she move on to another person if you cannot take care of her for whatever reason. Do what is best for her. If you cannot manage her then get her with someone who can. She will be fine.
