Met a pretty baby girl and her handsome brother at the MDA Firefighter Chili Cookoff. Puppies and firemen, what could be better? Being able to bring the pretty baby girl home, that's what. Thank you for allowing Autumn to be part of our family!

we adopted our newest addition from lifeline last weekend. i saw her on the website the day before & fell in love with her picture, so we arrived 2 hours early to the event which made us #4 in line. this allowed us to go in a couple minutes ahead of the other people in line which is nice, but if we had wanted to look at another dog, we wouldn't have been able to. fell more in love with our ella after spending time in the play area with her. spent 5 hours at the event total. all in all it was an easy process. we couldn't be happier about our puppy. she is very happy and healthy.

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!

My best good girl came from this rescue back in 2002. She was my first dog as an adult. We had to put her down last year and she took a part of my heart with her. This rescue is great and rescues pups from remote areas. Thank you for my first fur child.

We adopted our 1 year old Ruby from LLPR a couple months back. They were very up-front about what her training needs would be..and that she had given birth to 9 pups recently. Adoption process was easy, and I could tell that they truly cared about their pups and dogs. ❤❤

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

We got Copper from Lifeline in April of 2014 (Australian Cattle Dog mix). The facilities were clean and well maintained and the staff was very helpful. The puppies seem to go fast here, it's a very popular spot for adoption! Also, so glad they are taking better photos of the pups now! They used to be photos of the pups on a scale and they all looked so scared and uncomfortable. This is such a better representation of the happy pups we saw at Lifeline!

We got our puppy who was about six weeks old 4/18/2005, he is an amazing dog, best decision ever.

This place is amazing! They really care for the puppies and I love that they travel to save puppies that would otherwise be euthinized. We have adopted 3 pups from Lifeline over the past 15 years and couldn't be happier. The most recent, Otis, is a 2 year old, Lhasa Apso mix and might be the funniest, sweetest dog we've ever met! Definitely give this place a look - worth the drive!

Great experience with everything. We love our puppy Miah

Got my Marty from Lifeline, what a great experience! He was so excited to be in his forever home it took 2 days to even be able to take a picture of him. He came neutered, chipped, and vaccinated for $450?!?! What a great deal. Was well taken care of by his foster and the staff were super helpful and supportive that I got the pup I fell in love with on their website. Even let me bring my other dog to make sure they got along. I strongly recommend and I’ll be back next time I need a new puppy.

Got 2 lab mix pups from them 14 and 12 years ago respectively. Got our second pup there because they seemed well aware of the physical conditions of the pups, not releasing any until they were healthy. Glad to hear they are still In business rescuing pups from around the state.

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

We have adopted 2 dogs over the years from Lifeline Puppy Rescue and they have both been wonderful! Lifeline Puppy Rescue does a great job helping dogs!

Thank you guys for all you do !!! We are in love with our baby Sierra ! <3

We got our puppy, Holly, here last December. She was already spayed so we didn't have to deal with that. She is so great. The staff was friendly enough to us. I would adopt from there again.

Wiggels came from Lifeline....she was the best dog ever..

We got our current pup from you, trust your business

Found my best friend, Rio, here. Awesome staff and amazing organization.

We got our dog, Sophie, there 9 1/2 years ago. She is beautiful and smart and we are so glad our friends recommended Lifeline Puppy Rescue to us!

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.
