The best place I have ever bought a dog from. Well taken care of and loved. All my dogs from them have turned out to be truly great. I would recommend them to anyone.

I got my sweet dog, Harper from Lifeline. It was a little chaotic, but just make sure you read (hours/instructions) from their FB site and on their main website. After being informed, I arrived early, received a number and was able to take her home. The majority of people who work there are volunteers, so be patient and remember the adoption day is hectic for everyone. My dog, Harper is a terrier/chihuahua mix and is smart, loving and playful. Thank you Lifeline for bringing her into my life!

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

We have gotten both of our pups here. I can't say enough great things about the staff and what they do. Such a great place!!

I’ve adopted all of my dogs here, going back to our first, Jazper, over 20 years ago! The staff and volunteers love what they do and are so incredibly helpful, friendly, and dedicated. The puppies are well cared for and it was easy to find the puppy I wanted! I wouldn’t go anywhere else to adopt a puppy!

We rescued our Mika last weekend through Lifeline Puppy Rescue and couldn’t be happier with the experience that we had! Everyone was friendly and super helpful. If I could give every puppy here a furrever home, I would! Thank you for letting us adopt Mika and add her to our little family! If you want to adopt a puppy (or 2 or 10) I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! ❤️

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.

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

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

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.

Adopted my dog from Lifeline, worked out great! Will be back!

LPR is a wonderful, kind facility. I am gaining volunteering experience there and would recommend it to anyone. I will certainly get my next dog through Lifeline.

We picked up or puppy lat Saturday and so far have been very pleased. He is pretty good with using the potty outside, knows sit, wait, and knows his kennel. He still gets excites over our kitties but we are making process. We still jave alot of training to go but hes is very loving and is making a food addition to our family. Thank you so much!! -the Greaneys

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

We strongly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and the process of finding a new friend for my parents was easy and fun. We were nervous about the idea of first come first serve but there was no pressure and everyone there was just trying to find their match. It’s was great to be able to walk around and see the liters of pups and meet with several of them. My advice would be to have a few in mind and then see what the personalities are.

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.

Got my Marty from Lifeline, what a great experience! He was so excited to be in his forever home it took 2 days to even be able to take a picture of him. He came neutered, chipped, and vaccinated for $450?!?! What a great deal. Was well taken care of by his foster and the staff were super helpful and supportive that I got the pup I fell in love with on their website. Even let me bring my other dog to make sure they got along. I strongly recommend and I’ll be back next time I need a new puppy.

I found my Ursa there more than 10 years ago. She was a Keeshond mix, and was so loving and sweet! This is a great place!!!!

We got our dog, Sophie, there 9 1/2 years ago. She is beautiful and smart and we are so glad our friends recommended Lifeline Puppy Rescue to us!

2 dogs from lifeline 15 years apart. 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.
