We adopted our sweet 8month old dachshund corgi mix Thea yesterday from Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We got there around 2 in the afternoon, which was fantastic! There wasn't that many people there and we were aloud to wonder around looking at puppies. A volunteer immediately approached us explaining their process and rules. They told us to not put our fingers in the cages for puppy health reasons, which we really respected, it showed they are looking out for the puppies. Our little Thea (was Thelma) immediately caught our attention. The same volunteer set up her kennel for us to meet her. She gave us some treats for Thea to come up to us, while kept checking in with us to see how things were going. When we decided to adopt our sweet Thea, they took us into this building for a class explaining the process on how to raise a puppy, how to fill out the application, what the email they send you says and how to read it, along with vaccine information. We felt very confident in our decision. Our sweet Thea is the perfect addition to our family. We have already told our friends that want puppies about our amazing experience. THANK YOU LIFELINE PUPPY RESCUE!! We are ridiculously in love!

Excellent rescue!! Thank you for doing what you do!!!

I adopted two puppies from lifeline a year apart and both are amazing dogs and we're in great health when I adopted them and they still are. Only thing I didnt like was my male I adopted was already neutered at 8 weeks and I like to wait at least the full 3 months for general health reasons however, he is healthy and I've had no issues.

This is a NO kill shelter. We currently have 3 rescues from Lifeline. They are an incredible organization that save so many puppies and mother dogs from high kill shelters.

My babies are 10-11 now and both came from this amazing rescue. These people are doing wonderful things and anyone looking to get a dog should check out lifeline first. Thanks for connecting me with my best friends lifeline.

I have adopted 2 dogs from lifeline puppy and both have been the best pets I’ve ever owned . I cannot say enough about this amazing place

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 recently adopted our little guy from Lifeline and when my husband noticed him getting sick, we were able to take him to the rescue and they kept him in observation for two days. Everything was alright and he didn't need treatment for anything but they made the entire process easy. So happy we adopted our puppy! I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends! In fact, my family has a long history of adopting from Lifeline Puppy Rescue.

We adopted our pup about 2 years ago and she’s the best pup there is! No issues :$

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.

Our zooey is the most loving and energetic puppy! She has been an amazing addiction to our family! Thank you lifeline for my fur baby!

Got my dog here almost 7 years ago and she is a great dog and lifeline puppies was awesome and easy to work with.

My boyfriend and I adopted our little thunder on Valentine's Day and it was the best choice we have ever made. We will definitely be back in a couple weeks to adopt another little pup❤️❤️

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

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. ❤️❤️

We just adopted our little Luna on Sunday. She is just perfect and has been a great addition to our family. All of the staff and volunteers were so amazing!

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!

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

Our pup Kala is from lifeline. Smartest and most sweet dog ever! :-) black lab possible mix but she's smarter than top tier black lab breeds! We love lifeline for giving us our baby girl!

We got our sweet girl Penelope here, in December. *Adoption was very easy, they explain their process very thoroughly. Great people, Great experience. Just Get there very early if you see a puppy you have in mind. *One Con though is once you leave with your puppy, it is difficult to get a hold of someone if you have questions or concerns. You have to message them and wait for response, but overall we had a great experience.

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.
