2nd dog, and second great experience. Get there early on Saturdays.

I can't say enough about the folks at Lifeline! They go the extra mile to make sure the puppies they take in are cared for and find GOOD homes. Our Marshmallow is such a cutie (and pain in the butt), we are so thankful for Lifeline bringing him in to our lives. ❤️❤️

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 have adopted two wonderful dogs from LPR. No problems. Highly recommend!

I found my Ursa there more than 10 years ago. She was a Keeshond mix, and was so loving and sweet! This is a great place!!!!

we adopted our pup a year and a half ago. Looking for a playmate and they will be the people I go to. They do awesome work

I have a albino pup that is deaf from them. Smart dog and very good. Listen better then my dogs that hear!

Wonderful place! We rescued our wonderful dog from them 7 years ago!

adopted a little border collie/lab mix almost 2 weeks ago - aside from a miscommunication about when to come and pick him up, which was quickly resolved and a time scheduled for us the next day, our experience with Lifeline was wonderful. Our little Newton was pretty much 100% pad trained when we brought him home, doing half the work of housebreaking for us! His free vet checkup confirmed that he's completely healthy and he's happy, playful, and thriving! Thanks for getting him off to such a great start!

We got our dog Bear from Lifeline almost 2 years ago. He’s been such a wonderful companion and is so loved. We had a great experience adopting him, and all the volunteers were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Lifeline and have sent a few friends and they have adopted puppies as well. Here he is now, and his adoption photo.

I have not been here since 1999 but this is where we adopted 2 of our puppies - 1 in 1997 & the other in 1999. Sadly both are gone. We lost Hershey in November at 14!

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!

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

I have adopted from lifeline twice and they were both great experiences! My dad also adopted his dog from here as well! Great rescue!

it's a wonderful caring organization. they do so much to save these wonderful pups.

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!!

Amazing rescue that truly cares about the puppies as well as controlling the pet population so we can avoid unnecessary deaths for these amazing animals/friends/family members!

3 years ago I got my two amazing pyr/lab mixes at lifeline. I cannot imagine my life without them.

They rescue puppies, and have wonderful foster homes. Lifeline has a great system of choosing the right puppy! We love them.

Lifeline Puppy Rescue gave me my best friend(s)! My family adopted our first family dog from here, and now 18 years later, I returned here to adopt my own puppy - and it was the best decision I've ever made! The staff is friendly, knowledgable and they really care about the puppies that come into their rescue. Thanks for all that you do for these puppers!

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.
