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.

We have two amazing pups from Lifeline. The staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Was a great and enjoyable experience. So happy with our pups, they are the happiest and best members of our family.

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.

We got our dog Bear from Lifeline almost 2 years ago. He’s been such a wonderful companion and is so loved. We had a great experience adopting him, and all the volunteers were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Lifeline and have sent a few friends and they have adopted puppies as well. Here he is now, and his adoption photo.

Adopted my sweet Red Heeler, Milo from Lifeline Puppy Rescue just two months ago. The adoption process was quick and easy ( but make sure you show up early to get in line if you have a specific pup in mind!). Thank you for saving these pups and helping my find my furry best friend.

We got our puppy, Holly, here last December. She was already spayed so we didn't have to deal with that. She is so great. The staff was friendly enough to us. I would adopt from there again.

Great, no kill organization. They have the process DOWN. Very efficient, and friendly. We’re already in love with our new family member!

I got my Mia girl there almost 5 years ago. She's the best dog I've had the privilege to share my Family with. If your looking for a awesome addition to the family this is great place to go, and you help puppies that need a home!

I got my son his first dog here, 1998. Lady was a beautiful Australian Shepherd. She passed away in 2012. Love this place and what they do.

Thank you guys for all you do !!! We are in love with our baby Sierra ! <3

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! ️

I adopted my sweet Border collie mix Lola from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in 2001. She lived a long happy 17 years with us and was the best pup ever!

I got the best dog in the world there!

~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!

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

We had a great experience adopting our puppy drone Lifeline, and felt fully educated and prepared before we headed home with the little guy :) he’s been a wonderful addition to our fur family and his big (little) brother loves him just as much as we do!

We got our amazing puppy here and couldn't be happier. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They really are all about helping these babies find forever homes!

We got Copper from Lifeline in April of 2014 (Australian Cattle Dog mix). The facilities were clean and well maintained and the staff was very helpful. The puppies seem to go fast here, it's a very popular spot for adoption! Also, so glad they are taking better photos of the pups now! They used to be photos of the pups on a scale and they all looked so scared and uncomfortable. This is such a better representation of the happy pups we saw at Lifeline!

This place is amazing! They really care for the puppies and I love that they travel to save puppies that would otherwise be euthinized. We have adopted 3 pups from Lifeline over the past 15 years and couldn't be happier. The most recent, Otis, is a 2 year old, Lhasa Apso mix and might be the funniest, sweetest dog we've ever met! Definitely give this place a look - worth the drive!

Best ever!

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.
