Got my Joey here seven years ago! The rescue is a joy to work with! Have sent many friends here when they are looking to adopt!

Got 2 lab mix pups from them 14 and 12 years ago respectively. Got our second pup there because they seemed well aware of the physical conditions of the pups, not releasing any until they were healthy. Glad to hear they are still In business rescuing pups from around the state.

In 2010 I came to lifeline looking for my new best friend Kika, I had seen her picture on your website and immediately fell in love, I knew as soon as I saw her I wouldn't be leaving that day without her. 3 years later my fiancé and I decided she needed a friend so we got back on your website and found Cairo, again, as soon as we both saw the picture we knew. We came back to the shelter and thank god we were the first ones there so we got first pick, the family that pulled up behind us was also there for Cairo. � We lucked out! He is one of the best dogs I've ever owned, as is she. I've never been happier and I'm happy to say they are healthy, happy, spoiled dogs and I just wanted to say thank you for bringing us together. They light up our life every single day. I have tons of pictures of them on my profile if you ever care to see your more then welcome. Thank you for what you guys do! We've never been happier, keep up the good work and god bless all of you. Thank you. ���

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.

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

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!

They rescue puppies, and have wonderful foster homes. Lifeline has a great system of choosing the right puppy! We love them.

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.

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.

2 dogs from lifeline 15 years apart. Thank you!!!

Just had a great encounter with a foster parent Eduardo! He was walking a momma and her 9 puppies on a path near my home. All the pups and their mom were well behaved and very social! Eduardo was very informative about the rescue, clearly took pride in raising well socialized puppies, and took the time to answer all of the questions that came from everyone so amused to see the site of 9 tiny pups and their mom walking on the path! Thank you so much for doing good in our community! Sincerely Fellow animal lover

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

We got our little girl through Lifeline and absolutely love, love, love her! We were a little hesitant about getting another dog, saw her on your website, went there to meet her and fell in love! We were amazed at the wonderful things you do there in getting all those pups and dogs adopted out. It was wonderful that she was already fixed and had her 1st set of shots. It cant be easy caring for all those dogs before adoption. We would definently recommend your organization to anyone looking to add a fluffy member to their home. Thanks for all you do there and thank you for our new pup! �

What an incredible experience! Lifeline LOVES on these puppies until they find their forever homes. The adoption process goes so quick and smooth. I will recommend Lifeline to everyone!! 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 got my lab/husky mix AXE a week ago today :) he's already my best friend :) . :D

Our little guy has gotten so big - fitting in nicely and doing well in puppy class learning to not be such a bully to his big brother. Thank you LPR for making our new addition possible!

I got my 2 pups from here almost 17 years ago. They have passed over the rainbow Bridge now. Due to circumstances I was not able to get me some new buddies. I am building a cabin in the mountains in 2019. I will be going back in May to get me 2 more best friends. I can't wait.

We got a puppy in December and couldn't be happier.... Thanks for our New Fur baby boy Beast...

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.
