I have gotten two of my dogs from here. Max a GS lived to be 16 1/2 and Scooby Doo is almost 9. Would recommend to anyone looking for a best friend.

Amazing Place! Super nice volunteers. You can tell the puppies are all well loved and taken care of. We adopted a beautiful Red Heeler puppy and referred many friends since then.

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!

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.

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.

Best place to get your puppy

We got our sweet girl Penelope here, in December. *Adoption was very easy, they explain their process very thoroughly. Great people, Great experience. Just Get there very early if you see a puppy you have in mind. *One Con though is once you leave with your puppy, it is difficult to get a hold of someone if you have questions or concerns. You have to message them and wait for response, but overall we had a great experience.

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 met our 5 month Lucy girl with Lifeline Puppy rescue! We � her and are so lucky!

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

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

I just wanted to reach out and give a big “Thank you” to Lifeline! We adopted our sweet little boy, Finnegan, a little over a month ago from this rescue! He came healthy, happy, and mostly potty trained (which I certainly was not expecting for an 8 week old pup)! He’s been such a wonderful addition to our little family and I couldn’t be more in love with my sweet little boy ❤️! Thank you!!

I can't say enough about the folks at Lifeline! They go the extra mile to make sure the puppies they take in are cared for and find GOOD homes. Our Marshmallow is such a cutie (and pain in the butt), we are so thankful for Lifeline bringing him in to our lives. ❤️❤️

Thank you so much lifeline! Our little Lilly could not be more at home and loved!!

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!

My husband and I got our puppy at Lifeline almost 3 years ago and he is just the best dog we could have asked for. We now have a 2 year old and he has grown up with her and is such a protector of her. Best dogs! He is a Rottweiler/German Shephard mix and is full of energy. I wish there was a way to find his siblings he was with to see how they grew up. I would go back there in a minute to get another puppy!! Very recommended!

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.

Amazing experience getting the new member of our family! Highly recommend lifeline!

I adopted Bailey in 2001 and he was my true soulmate. He lived 16 years and brought me such joy every day of those 26 years!

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

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.
