I got this girl in April and she’s almost 1 year old! Although she was a bit sick when I adopted her, Lifeline took care of her until she was all better. They are great!

The staff at Lifeline are fantastic! We found the sweetest baby girl, CC. The adoption process is easy but thorough. I like that they go through the puppy class before you leave. We couldn't be happier with our new addition!

Thank you so much lifeline! Our little Lilly could not be more at home and loved!!

Great experience with everything. We love our puppy Miah

Our Remy is now one year old and we couldn’t be more in love! Three friends recommended we check out Lifeline. We researched quite a few shelters before going and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We highly recommended them!

We love our Winnie. He is our life!! We had a very positive experience and adoption process. Great staff, love the events and all of the charity donations they raise.

We recently adopted our little guy from Lifeline and when my husband noticed him getting sick, we were able to take him to the rescue and they kept him in observation for two days. Everything was alright and he didn't need treatment for anything but they made the entire process easy. So happy we adopted our puppy! I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends! In fact, my family has a long history of adopting from Lifeline Puppy Rescue.

We got our sweet boy khan for here almost 6 years ago we are so blessed to have him and wouldn't change him for the world!! Thank you and We appreciate all you do for these sweet animals!!

We adopted Ruby almost 7 years ago from you. She is the best gift to us ever!! We are thinking it’s time for another baby. Ruby would be so happy!! Waiting and watching for what’s meant to be.

Such a wonderful experience and much less stressful than we thought it was going to be. Little Toshi played in a big backyard today and then crashed out.

We adopted our girls Maggie and Dakota from Lifeline in 1997. They are gone now but we always remember Lifeline and our experience with them. When we are ready for a new friend we will give them a call.

Super Excited to Hopefully get a New Family Member!!!

Such an amazing organization!!! We are believers in adopting not shopping but also wanted to have puppies! This is the best place to do both!! Love our pups (you can see them on IG @camberandjamal ) from here more than life and are so grateful to Lifeline for saving them!!!

2 dogs from lifeline 15 years apart. Thank you!!!

In 2010 I came to lifeline looking for my new best friend Kika, I had seen her picture on your website and immediately fell in love, I knew as soon as I saw her I wouldn't be leaving that day without her. 3 years later my fiancé and I decided she needed a friend so we got back on your website and found Cairo, again, as soon as we both saw the picture we knew. We came back to the shelter and thank god we were the first ones there so we got first pick, the family that pulled up behind us was also there for Cairo. � We lucked out! He is one of the best dogs I've ever owned, as is she. I've never been happier and I'm happy to say they are healthy, happy, spoiled dogs and I just wanted to say thank you for bringing us together. They light up our life every single day. I have tons of pictures of them on my profile if you ever care to see your more then welcome. Thank you for what you guys do! We've never been happier, keep up the good work and god bless all of you. Thank you. ���

We just adopted our little Luna on Sunday. She is just perfect and has been a great addition to our family. All of the staff and volunteers were so amazing!

I got my diesel from them and they were wonderful - If I was closer I would continue to get my pups from them

The very best place to adopt a puppy!

Thank you Lifeline Puppy Rescue for rescuing our sweet pup 8 years ago. We are so grateful for your wonderful organization. Your organization has saved so many loving puppies and provided them with loving families. Thumbs up to the great service you provide.

We adopted Sonny 8 years ago and he’s the best dog we’ve ever had!

Lifeline Puppy Rescue is a no-kill rescue for young puppies throughout the Rocky Mountain Region, Kansas, & New Mexico. 99% of the puppies we rescue come from city and county shelters. We like our mom & pop, friendly, small town image. People like adopting Lifeline's puppies and giving them a chance at life. The Lifeline connection to small towns and rural areas is crucial. When we work together, puppies no longer have to be destroyed.
