What an incredible experience! Lifeline LOVES on these puppies until they find their forever homes. The adoption process goes so quick and smooth. I will recommend Lifeline to everyone!! Thank you!

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

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

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!

We adopted Sonny 8 years ago and he’s the best dog we’ve ever had!

Such a wonderful experience and much less stressful than we thought it was going to be. Little Toshi played in a big backyard today and then crashed out.

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

Lifeline is ALL about finding humans for puppies! What an organization. The staff members are knowledgeable and dedicated. The volunteers are willing and dedicated!

We adopted our puppy Ollie a little over a month ago and I cannot recommend lifeline puppy rescue enough! It's not just a come pick out a puppy and get out. You can tell these folks care about the puppies and want them to go to happy, loving homes.

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

In 2010 I came to lifeline looking for my new best friend Kika, I had seen her picture on your website and immediately fell in love, I knew as soon as I saw her I wouldn't be leaving that day without her. 3 years later my fiancé and I decided she needed a friend so we got back on your website and found Cairo, again, as soon as we both saw the picture we knew. We came back to the shelter and thank god we were the first ones there so we got first pick, the family that pulled up behind us was also there for Cairo. � We lucked out! He is one of the best dogs I've ever owned, as is she. I've never been happier and I'm happy to say they are healthy, happy, spoiled dogs and I just wanted to say thank you for bringing us together. They light up our life every single day. I have tons of pictures of them on my profile if you ever care to see your more then welcome. Thank you for what you guys do! We've never been happier, keep up the good work and god bless all of you. Thank you. ���

they provide excellent care to puppies until they are able to find furever homes for them. staff and volunteers all have a heart for each and every one of the puppies!

We adopted our dog Simon from here 14 years ago. He was a good healthy mixed breed. When we're ready for another, we will be back. Our daughter just adopted from here and had a good experience also.

My son adopted Logan male doberman mix yesterday.

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.

Thank you for giving us our baby girl! Highly recommend Lifeline. They take great care of their puppies and answer any questions you have! So friendly! ️

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.

You all are awesome! Great facility, easy to navigate website, super fun fundraising events, great adoption process!

Best place to get your puppy

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

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.
