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!!

We love � our puppy! You guys were great!!! Thank you!

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!

We got our Blue Heeler mix at Lifeline four years ago and she has been the best dog I have ever owned. I always said I’d go back there when we were ready for another. I knew Lifeline’s popularity had grown since I had been there, and prepared to get there early. We still only managed about 20 minutes early Saturday morning but were still 14th in line. The owner explained how things worked, let the super early arrival get first pick, then 2-10 got to browse puppies, then about 5 minutes later the rest of us were able to browse. It was fair, not chaotic... the volunteers were friendly. Their class is important because people need to understand what they are in for. The owner was around, chatting with everyone. It’s clear he loves his dogs and what he does. I saw some negative reviews before I went back last weekend, and I wanted to come in here to say that if you listen to how they do things, about what they expect, and go in to adopt a new family member, it will be an amazing experience. Our new pup is so sweet, and fits in perfectly with my family. I will always support Lifeline. <3

This is where we found our sweet boy Koal 11 years ago. When he came up and tugged on my shoelace I knew he was the one for us. And even though he had a bit of a rough start he has become such a joy for my entire family. This is such a great rescue! Thank you!

Would add a picture if I could. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Adoption process was easy and made sense for the adoptee/staff ratio. Numbering system simple and make sense if you can understand simple directions. Adopted a pup about 2 months ago, no problems at all.

I adopted my beloved border collie through lifeline. Such a great organization for rescue animals. Anyone looking for a loveable family addition, this is the place to go. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and they have open adoptions every weekend! I've referred everyone I know here. Thank you so much lifeline for my fur baby ��

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.

It’s just a great process and service!

We got Louis here almost a year ago and it was one of the best things we’ve ever done!

Met a pretty baby girl and her handsome brother at the MDA Firefighter Chili Cookoff. Puppies and firemen, what could be better? Being able to bring the pretty baby girl home, that's what. Thank you for allowing Autumn to be part of our family!

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

We have adopted 2 dogs over the years from Lifeline Puppy Rescue and they have both been wonderful! Lifeline Puppy Rescue does a great job helping dogs!

My wife and I just adopted a puppy today. What a great place and great people. A really wonderful experience.

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

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.

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 love our rescue! They were great throughout the whole process.

Adorable puppies, well taken care of, nice staff. Scott was awesome.

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!

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.
