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.

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

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 have not been here since 1999 but this is where we adopted 2 of our puppies - 1 in 1997 & the other in 1999. Sadly both are gone. We lost Hershey in November at 14!

I got my diesel from them and they were wonderful - If I was closer I would continue to get my pups from them

I have adopted from lifeline twice and they were both great experiences! My dad also adopted his dog from here as well! Great rescue!

We adopted our girl, Pepper in August. She came home updated on shots, de-flead and ready for a healthy life! We love her. Thanks, Lifeline!

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.

I love my new puppy and the workers there are so helpful!!! It's a great puppy rescue!!!

Great experience with everything. We love our puppy Miah

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.

We love Lifeline Puppy Rescue. Both of our dogs were rescues from Lifeline. We foster puppies from time to time and that's how we chose one of our dogs. We've recently fostered a pregnant mother who gave birth to 8 healthy pups. Scott from Lifeline was our lifesaver. He gave our family all kinds of support and guidance; always going above and beyond. Thank you for working so hard to help all the pups out there without homes, Lifeline!

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.

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!

My son adopted Logan male doberman mix yesterday.

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!

Just got our baby from there yesterday. He's the sweetest little guy ever! We love him so much and are sooo happy we picked lifeline to pick a puppy from. Thank you so much for our new family member.

3 years ago I got my two amazing pyr/lab mixes at lifeline. I cannot imagine my life without them.

Super Excited to Hopefully get a New Family Member!!!

I adopted my little girl almost 5 months ago. She was one from the litter left abandoned in a bucket at a very young age. I get so many compliments (from my vet, day care, obedience class) about how sweet and well socialized she is. It's obvious that the fosters who took care of her before the adoption did such a fabulous job. The staff were very nice during the adoption process. They kept me informed during the spay surgery and never made me feel that I was a bother. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

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.
