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.

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.

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!!

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!

We have adopted two wonderful dogs from LPR. No problems. Highly recommend!

We'd highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We were happy with Lifeline and will adopt there again. We adopted 11 years ago and just said goodbye to our Molly Wednesday. She was a GREAT dog & we miss her very much but when the time is right, we'll definitely be back.

I got the best dog in the world there!

We got our wonderful pup Chloe from here. They are great!

My son adopted Logan male doberman mix yesterday.

I got my, "Li'l Miss," dog, Pippa last Saturday from Lifeline Puppy Rescue. She was a rescue from a puppy mill the week before and had been spayed and also had a second surgery to remove 3 bladder stones from her bladder. I let Chelsea know that I was interested in giving her a loving caring life, once she was through her post surgery challenges. Chelsea and staff were so helpful and kept up communications for a week, with me, updating her improvements. So helpful, so knowledgeable and the process was super easy, to adopt her. I got Pippa last Saturday afternoon, and brought her back on Sunday to start obedience training. That Pippa had a bond with Chelsea and was starting to bond with me, the training went very well. She was eager to listen and please both of us! A win-win situation! Anyway, Lifeline Puppy Rescue deserves 5 stars for the services they provide. I am certain that my new 4 year young pup, Pippa and I, were meant to find each other and it was all Divine Timing.

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.

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.

Found my best friend, Rio, here. Awesome staff and amazing organization.

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.

They are an amazing group that save lives! We got our wonderful lab mix, Lucy, from them and are so grateful.

About two weeks ago I adopted from Lifeline after keeping my eyes on this dog for weeks through their website. They were extremely helpful through the process, answered all of my questions, and they even allowed me to bring my older dog to their location to meet my new guy before bringing him home. I would highly recommend Lifeline. Also, I wanted the staff to know that “Ralphie” is now “Louie” and he is doing great and has been a fun addition to the family. Him and his brother play and snuggle constantly!

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.

We adopted from this place 16 and 15 years ago and got the most awesome dogs there. So when I was ready to get a dog I adopted a puppy from here back in January and my little Bells is such a sweetheart. Great place to find a bestfriend.

I adopted my Toad in February of '15. He's 1 now and the best thing that's ever happened to me.

~Just adopted our sweet baby boy Bane on Saturday! I cannot even express how much love he has brought to our family and how sweet he is. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to loving Bane for MANY years to come! He was meant to be ours! THANK YOU!

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.
