Over the last 16 years my parents have adopted two healthy puppies from lifeline and I recently got my first pup here. They genuinely care about the puppies/dogs and are very helpful with questions and the adoption process. Adopting can be competitive in CO and this place does great. It seems that going on weeks with more puppies that are around holidays/good weather will be busier and feel more competitive than colder weekends with less puppies. Regardless over the years they've always had a great selection.

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

I adopted my little girl almost 5 months ago. She was one from the litter left abandoned in a bucket at a very young age. I get so many compliments (from my vet, day care, obedience class) about how sweet and well socialized she is. It's obvious that the fosters who took care of her before the adoption did such a fabulous job. The staff were very nice during the adoption process. They kept me informed during the spay surgery and never made me feel that I was a bother. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

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!!

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

We adopted our girl, Pepper in August. She came home updated on shots, de-flead and ready for a healthy life! We love her. Thanks, Lifeline!

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!

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.

It’s just a great process and service!

This place is awesome. I have adopted from here twice. A no kill shelter doing a great job! Keep up the good work to the entire staff and all of the volunteers that keep this place going

Amazing experience getting the new member of our family! Highly recommend lifeline!

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!!

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

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

Rescued my little girl from you.

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.

Very professional! Take VERY good care of the puppies!

no kill org and caring to pups and the mom

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

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!

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.
