We had a great experience with the adoption process. They were helpful and explained the process well. My husband and I were not sure how to go about the process, however when we were ready we showed up an hour before the event and waited. We could tell they are very experienced in the adoption process within about 5 mins of getting there. The key to adopting from anyone is to try to pick your puppy before you go and get there early! We adopted Scout (Puppy # 16-925) at 8 weeks old, he is now a 17 week old happy and healthy lil ball of love! As a side note I appreciate lifeline's attention to Pitt Bull puppies. They made sure the puppies didn't go to homes that would have to give them up secondary to where people live. It was nice to see their dedication at finding a good and FOREVER home for these little pups! We are so in love with our Scout! Thank you for what you do!!!

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

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

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.

We love our rescue! They were great throughout the whole process.

Adopted my sweet Red Heeler, Milo from Lifeline Puppy Rescue just two months ago. The adoption process was quick and easy ( but make sure you show up early to get in line if you have a specific pup in mind!). Thank you for saving these pups and helping my find my furry best friend.

We LOVE our little puppy, Zeus! We got him right before Christmas. The staff was super helpful and we were able to take our little guy home quickly! He is happy and healthy! I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue!

This is my 2nd time adopting from Lifeline. Love the way this group works. Max and Snoopy are a wonderful addition to our family. One year old now

Best place to get your puppy

Got my puppy Baylee from them this summer and she is a fantastic dog. The staff was very helpful while we were there too.

Adopted our precious Little Duke! We are in love! He's the perfect addition to our family.

I adopted my beloved border collie through lifeline. Such a great organization for rescue animals. Anyone looking for a loveable family addition, this is the place to go. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and they have open adoptions every weekend! I've referred everyone I know here. Thank you so much lifeline for my fur baby ��

very well run and organized with minimal chaos to freak out the dogs

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

We met our 5 month Lucy girl with Lifeline Puppy rescue! We � her and are so lucky!

LPR is a wonderful, kind facility. I am gaining volunteering experience there and would recommend it to anyone. I will certainly get my next dog through Lifeline.

I got my son his first dog here, 1998. Lady was a beautiful Australian Shepherd. She passed away in 2012. Love this place and what they do.

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!

My husband and I got our puppy at Lifeline almost 3 years ago and he is just the best dog we could have asked for. We now have a 2 year old and he has grown up with her and is such a protector of her. Best dogs! He is a Rottweiler/German Shephard mix and is full of energy. I wish there was a way to find his siblings he was with to see how they grew up. I would go back there in a minute to get another puppy!! Very recommended!

Got my Joey here seven years ago! The rescue is a joy to work with! Have sent many friends here when they are looking to adopt!

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.
