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.

I got my dog here almost 11 years ago because several of my friends had rescued from here & their dogs all turned out to be smart, healthy and extremely sweet. Mine did have a bad case of kennel cough - however this was not on Lifeline, and I assume she would have died if she wasn't picked up by them... Which is too hard to even think about. We will use Lifeline for the rest of our dogs!!

We adopted our dog Simon from here 14 years ago. He was a good healthy mixed breed. When we're ready for another, we will be back. Our daughter just adopted from here and had a good experience also.

I got my Mia girl there almost 5 years ago. She's the best dog I've had the privilege to share my Family with. If your looking for a awesome addition to the family this is great place to go, and you help puppies that need a home!

Lifeline Puppy Rescue gave me my best friend(s)! My family adopted our first family dog from here, and now 18 years later, I returned here to adopt my own puppy - and it was the best decision I've ever made! The staff is friendly, knowledgable and they really care about the puppies that come into their rescue. Thanks for all that you do for these puppers!

We got Louis here almost a year ago and it was one of the best things we’ve ever done!

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!

I not only did I volunteer here when I was younger but most of my dogs (4) have come from them :-) love this place!

My best good girl came from this rescue back in 2002. She was my first dog as an adult. We had to put her down last year and she took a part of my heart with her. This rescue is great and rescues pups from remote areas. Thank you for my first fur child.

Such a great service for puppies and people! The process is a little hectic, but fair. Very professional people, whom are very helpful and friendly. When we were told our Rey was not spayed yet one of my children started to cry so one of the gals there asked if she could fix it with some M&M's and of course it fixed everything. When we decide to adopt another puppy, we will use there services again. Thank you Lifeline for our new kid :D

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.

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.

We just went and picked out/up our little girl Honey yesterday... I really liked the structured process considering first come first serve.. I wish they had a little more back history on the pups but understand why they dont ( As they are just genuinely trying to save puppies from kill shelters) the only other complaint is that my girlfriend saw on the website that they offer 30days of "pet care (insurance if you will)" following your adoption only to be told in person that they no longer offer such services... other then that I'd send any of my friends and family there to get a pup in a heart beat... And as for the people talking about "0 help" with their pups. Honey got an extremely bad tummy ache and started vomiting a couple days after we brought her home and the staff at lifeline ACTED EXTREMLY PROFESSIONAL in assisting us with our puppies illness, kept her over night to closely monitor her gave us an end of night update and let us know the next day that she was feeling much better and we could go pick her up... and they assured me that if anything else happened to her to simply bring her back and they would get her fixed up.. and that's WITHOUT THE INSURANCE POLICY.. But she is happy as ever cuddling with my kiddos as I type this message... Thanks again for my adorable pup and professionalism in dealing with her tummy bug!!

It’s just a great process and service!

Never thought I would meet our best friend there! I so love our dog, have for 11 years. So grateful. Highly recommended. -Michael (heather's hubby and millies dad).

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

Got my Zeus from here!! Awesome group!

We got Copper from Lifeline in April of 2014 (Australian Cattle Dog mix). The facilities were clean and well maintained and the staff was very helpful. The puppies seem to go fast here, it's a very popular spot for adoption! Also, so glad they are taking better photos of the pups now! They used to be photos of the pups on a scale and they all looked so scared and uncomfortable. This is such a better representation of the happy pups we saw at Lifeline!

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 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.

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.
