Great, no kill organization. They have the process DOWN. Very efficient, and friendly. We’re already in love with our new family member!

very caring people, doing their best to help as many puppies and dogs as they can.

I got my dog here almost 11 years ago because several of my friends had rescued from here & their dogs all turned out to be smart, healthy and extremely sweet. Mine did have a bad case of kennel cough - however this was not on Lifeline, and I assume she would have died if she wasn't picked up by them... Which is too hard to even think about. We will use Lifeline for the rest of our dogs!!

Best ever!

I got my 2 pups from here almost 17 years ago. They have passed over the rainbow Bridge now. Due to circumstances I was not able to get me some new buddies. I am building a cabin in the mountains in 2019. I will be going back in May to get me 2 more best friends. I can't wait.

Thank you for giving us our baby girl! Highly recommend Lifeline. They take great care of their puppies and answer any questions you have! So friendly! ️

Rescued my little girl from you.

I just wanted to reach out and give a big “Thank you” to Lifeline! We adopted our sweet little boy, Finnegan, a little over a month ago from this rescue! He came healthy, happy, and mostly potty trained (which I certainly was not expecting for an 8 week old pup)! He’s been such a wonderful addition to our little family and I couldn’t be more in love with my sweet little boy ❤️! Thank you!!

We have gotten both of our pups here. I can't say enough great things about the staff and what they do. Such a great place!!

I’ve adopted my two dogs from here! Great experience! Kind people that are saving so many lives!

Amazing place with some incredible puppies! Our Sierra (American Bulldog/Boxer mix) is one of the best things to happen to our family!

We got our ginger girl there!! We absolutely love her!

they provide excellent care to puppies until they are able to find furever homes for them. staff and volunteers all have a heart for each and every one of the puppies!

Lifeline Puppy Rescue works so hard to save puppies from places like New Mexico and Texas that will most likely end up in an overcrowded kill shelter. They nurse them back to health and give them opportunities for an amazing and fulfilling life.

Got my Zeus from here!! Awesome group!

We adopted our sweet girl a few weeks ago and not only has she been an amazing dog and perfect addition to our family but it was great experience getting her. If you have a specific dog you’re wanting I would go early because people start to show up early. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. Turkey had a great first vet visit and is a very healthy little girl. If we ever decide to adopt again we will definitely choose lifeline again. ️

They make it easy to find a puppy to love at a reasonable cost.

We adopted our sweet 8month old dachshund corgi mix Thea yesterday from Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We got there around 2 in the afternoon, which was fantastic! There wasn't that many people there and we were aloud to wonder around looking at puppies. A volunteer immediately approached us explaining their process and rules. They told us to not put our fingers in the cages for puppy health reasons, which we really respected, it showed they are looking out for the puppies. Our little Thea (was Thelma) immediately caught our attention. The same volunteer set up her kennel for us to meet her. She gave us some treats for Thea to come up to us, while kept checking in with us to see how things were going. When we decided to adopt our sweet Thea, they took us into this building for a class explaining the process on how to raise a puppy, how to fill out the application, what the email they send you says and how to read it, along with vaccine information. We felt very confident in our decision. Our sweet Thea is the perfect addition to our family. We have already told our friends that want puppies about our amazing experience. THANK YOU LIFELINE PUPPY RESCUE!! We are ridiculously in love!

Great experience with everything. We love our puppy Miah

Just had a great encounter with a foster parent Eduardo! He was walking a momma and her 9 puppies on a path near my home. All the pups and their mom were well behaved and very social! Eduardo was very informative about the rescue, clearly took pride in raising well socialized puppies, and took the time to answer all of the questions that came from everyone so amused to see the site of 9 tiny pups and their mom walking on the path! Thank you so much for doing good in our community! Sincerely Fellow animal lover

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.
