I got this girl in April and she’s almost 1 year old! Although she was a bit sick when I adopted her, Lifeline took care of her until she was all better. They are great!

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.

Thank you so much for our little Piper, we love her so much

Lifeline puppy rescue is so great!! We arrived at 8 am and were 4th in line and I did get my puppy of choice. I am so happy with my new pup and experience with lifeline! They had so many adorable puppies and it was awesome to see they were almost all adopted. I highly suggest adopting through lifeline.

We foster for Lifeline. They are a wonderful caring organization that truly puts the pups first. We adopted our new addition over the weekend.♡♡♡♡

We got our "moosey" 6 years ago now. Best dog ever. Was a GREAT experience and shelter. Recommended them all the time.

adopted a little border collie/lab mix almost 2 weeks ago - aside from a miscommunication about when to come and pick him up, which was quickly resolved and a time scheduled for us the next day, our experience with Lifeline was wonderful. Our little Newton was pretty much 100% pad trained when we brought him home, doing half the work of housebreaking for us! His free vet checkup confirmed that he's completely healthy and he's happy, playful, and thriving! Thanks for getting him off to such a great start!

I not only did I volunteer here when I was younger but most of my dogs (4) have come from them :-) love this place!

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. ���

I adopted my “puppy” from lifeline over 16 years ago. It was the best decision I have ever made! Thanks Lifeline for helping me find a family member who is still happy and enjoying life!

Lexi is our rescue puppy- A friendly, easy and hassle free process. She has been an amazing addition to our family.

Seems like a wonderful organization. I was very happy with my experience with them.

We adopted a precious shepherd/lab mix from Lifeline this weekend. The process is organized and fairly efficient, considering all the puppies and potential adopters. Take a look at the available pups before you go for sure because once you get there, especially on Saturdays, there are lots of people, and you should be ready to ask a volunteer to visit with a specific puppy or at least one from a litter you’ve picked out from the online pics the day/days before. You should definitely try to get there before 11am when they open, as they give you a number in order of arrival. If you’re adopting, plan to be there for about 2 hours give or take. The employees/volunteers there are helpful and kind, and once you’re ready to adopt, they provide thorough details of the adoption contract, review the paperwork and instructions in one big group - super efficient. Bring cash for extremely fast check out once instructional seminar is finished. Credit card line can be long, but moves fairly quickly. They also sell full size crates with divider for a reasonable price and puppy starter kit so that you don’t have to stop off at the pet store on the way home - leash & collar, few days worth of food, a few chew toys, food and water bowl - all for about $20 or 30, I think. Our new puppy is beautiful, playful, curious and sweet. She’s already spayed and has her initial immunizations. We’re so excited about the many years ahead with our Scout!

We adopted our sweet Lilly from Lifeline! She is so healthy, feisty and an awesome joy to us. We have had her nearly a year now.

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

2 dogs from lifeline 15 years apart. Thank you!!!

We brought home our newest family member yesterday! We're so in love!! So happy she came with shots, spayed, deworming, and a microchip. Very happy to support a rescue and not puppy store!

I got my dog from there two years ago and it is the only place that I will ever go to now to get a dog you can tell they are very well taken care of and care about who is adopting the dogs I love my dog Decker!

My son adopted Logan male doberman mix yesterday.

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!

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.
