Welcome to the Adopt By Owner page. This page was created for uncertain circumstances faced by owners of all animals that are no longer able to care for their pets. This page is an option for people outside of surrendering pets to a shelter in their area that euthanizes. This also allows pets to be in an environment they are comfortable in. If you would like to post a dog on this page, please email lifelinepuppyrescue@yahoo.com.

BOWIE
Bowie is a male dog, 5 1/2 years old. He is a mixed breed, predominantly Australian cattle dog and German shepherd. He weighs about 65 pounds. We have kept up with his annual wellness exams and vaccinations/boosters and he is in good health. Bowie has a lot of love to give and has a very fun, playful side to his personality while also not having huge energy demands. With the right owner(s) and mellow home environment, we feel strongly that he would continue to thrive as a companion.

Meet Tobi (aka Bean)!
Tobi, lovingly nicknamed “Bean,” is a 1-year and 7-month-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix who was born on December 12, 2024. He is a sweet, loving, silly, and goofy boy who has so much personality and so much love to give. Tobi is a very sensitive dog and is severely afraid of loud noises and sudden popping sounds. Fireworks, lawnmowers, loud cars, motorcycles, and other unexpected noises can be very scary for him. Because of this, Tobi would do best in a calm, understanding home where his family can help him feel safe and comfortable.Tobi is an incredibly smart boy who loves learning and having a job to do. He knows many tricks, including sit, shake, roll over, spin, orbit, and under. His “under” command means he circles around your right leg, goes between your legs, and sits underneath you. He also knows “place,” which means he goes into his crate. He loves showing off his skills and spending time working with his people.Tobi loves being outside when it is calm and quiet. He especially enjoys playing with the hose and having the chance to run, explore, and just be a dog. His ideal home would have a secure fenced backyard where he can safely enjoy the outdoors. He would do best in a home with children over the age of 12 who can understand his boundaries and give him the patience and space he needs.Tobi is very good with other dogs. He may be a little hesitant when first meeting a new dog, but once he feels comfortable and gets to know them, his playful personality comes out and he loves running and playing with his furry friends.Tobi is a smart, active dog who would benefit from continued leash training. He can become overwhelmed during walks, especially when he encounters things that make him nervous, so he would do best with a patient family who is willing to continue helping him build confidence.Tobi has food allergies to chicken, beef, lamb, and pork. He does best on a salmon-based diet to keep him happy and healthy.Tobi has shown mild resource guarding only with bones. He has never shown resource guarding with his food, toys, treats, or any other items. His family has worked with him using positive reinforcement and a command called “trade.” When told “trade,” Tobi drops his bone and receives a treat in exchange. This allows the bone to be safely removed while reinforcing a positive response. He responds very well to this command.Tobi is a wonderful companion who loves to cuddle, play, and be close to his people. He is a funny, goofy boy who will keep you smiling and loves being part of a family. He is looking for a patient and understanding home that will appreciate his unique personality and give him the environment where he can truly thrive.Tobi is a smart, loving dog who has so much potential and so much love to share.
