Rescued my little girl from you.

We adopted our first puppy from Lifeline and it was such a great experience. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful! She is a fantastic dog and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you!!

We brought home our newest family member yesterday! We're so in love!! So happy she came with shots, spayed, deworming, and a microchip. Very happy to support a rescue and not puppy store!

We got our Border Collie/lab sweet girl there over 10 years ago. She has brought us nothing but love and joy. Would definitely look at another from here some day.

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 brought Brady home about a month ago now - he quickly became part of our family and we can’t imagine him not being here! Thanks to Lifeline Puppy Rescue!!

My babies are 10-11 now and both came from this amazing rescue. These people are doing wonderful things and anyone looking to get a dog should check out lifeline first. Thanks for connecting me with my best friends lifeline.

They are an amazing group that save lives! We got our wonderful lab mix, Lucy, from them and are so grateful.

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

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.

Our Remy is now one year old and we couldn’t be more in love! Three friends recommended we check out Lifeline. We researched quite a few shelters before going and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We highly recommended them!

Thank you for an amazing volunteer opportunity and orientation today. Fabulous people, no kill puppy rescue, and of course the PUPS you save every day. Bless you.

We got our Kylo there! Great place. Great care. A must for anyone looking to give a puppy a forever home. �

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 ��

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.

I got my dog from there two years ago and it is the only place that I will ever go to now to get a dog you can tell they are very well taken care of and care about who is adopting the dogs I love my dog Decker!

it's a wonderful caring organization. they do so much to save these wonderful pups.

We adopted our sweet girl a few weeks ago and not only has she been an amazing dog and perfect addition to our family but it was great experience getting her. If you have a specific dog you’re wanting I would go early because people start to show up early. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. Turkey had a great first vet visit and is a very healthy little girl. If we ever decide to adopt again we will definitely choose lifeline again. ️

This place is amazing. Thank you for my baby girl

We adopted our Shadow, many years ago from here! We loved him all of his life and beyond. Wonderful place to pick your best friend from!

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.
