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!!

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

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.

Very professional! Take VERY good care of the puppies!

We just went and picked out/up our little girl Honey yesterday... I really liked the structured process considering first come first serve.. I wish they had a little more back history on the pups but understand why they dont ( As they are just genuinely trying to save puppies from kill shelters) the only other complaint is that my girlfriend saw on the website that they offer 30days of "pet care (insurance if you will)" following your adoption only to be told in person that they no longer offer such services... other then that I'd send any of my friends and family there to get a pup in a heart beat... And as for the people talking about "0 help" with their pups. Honey got an extremely bad tummy ache and started vomiting a couple days after we brought her home and the staff at lifeline ACTED EXTREMLY PROFESSIONAL in assisting us with our puppies illness, kept her over night to closely monitor her gave us an end of night update and let us know the next day that she was feeling much better and we could go pick her up... and they assured me that if anything else happened to her to simply bring her back and they would get her fixed up.. and that's WITHOUT THE INSURANCE POLICY.. But she is happy as ever cuddling with my kiddos as I type this message... Thanks again for my adorable pup and professionalism in dealing with her tummy bug!!

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

We love Lifeline Puppy Rescue. Both of our dogs were rescues from Lifeline. We foster puppies from time to time and that's how we chose one of our dogs. We've recently fostered a pregnant mother who gave birth to 8 healthy pups. Scott from Lifeline was our lifesaver. He gave our family all kinds of support and guidance; always going above and beyond. Thank you for working so hard to help all the pups out there without homes, Lifeline!

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!!!!

I got my lab/husky mix AXE a week ago today :) he's already my best friend :) . :D

they are doing a wonderful thing to save these pupps

I met Doke at Lifeline Puppy Rescue on Easter 2 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. He goes with me on road trips, on mountain hikes and jogs. I am so happy that I decided to spend Easter morning at Lifeline Puppy Rescue. Everyday has been awesome since.

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!

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!

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.

Loved the entire team, super easy Checkin, seamless administrative work and of course alllll the puppies! These pups are well cared for and we now have the perfect addition to our home.

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

I adopted my sweet Border collie mix Lola from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in 2001. She lived a long happy 17 years with us and was the best pup ever!

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.

We love � our puppy! You guys were great!!! Thank you!

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

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.
