We bought a puppy last year and he is perfect. LPR is very informative and cares about the animals they home.

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

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

I got my Maxx dog almost 10 years ago and he still acts like a puppy. I was his foster mom but I couldn't let him go. So I kept him. Being a foster mom was great seeing the puppies go to there forever homes was so rewarding.

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. ️

We got our "moosey" 6 years ago now. Best dog ever. Was a GREAT experience and shelter. Recommended them all the time.

You all are awesome! Great facility, easy to navigate website, super fun fundraising events, great adoption process!

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

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

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!

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.

Got my Thor from them..he is wonderful addition to our small family....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

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

Our pup Kala is from lifeline. Smartest and most sweet dog ever! :-) black lab possible mix but she's smarter than top tier black lab breeds! We love lifeline for giving us our baby girl!

My boyfriend and I adopted our little thunder on Valentine's Day and it was the best choice we have ever made. We will definitely be back in a couple weeks to adopt another little pup❤️❤️

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

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'd highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We were happy with Lifeline and will adopt there again. We adopted 11 years ago and just said goodbye to our Molly Wednesday. She was a GREAT dog & we miss her very much but when the time is right, we'll definitely be back.

We just adopted our little Luna on Sunday. She is just perfect and has been a great addition to our family. All of the staff and volunteers were so amazing!

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.
