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

We adopted our new baby 2 weeks ago and love him so much! We had such a great experience I tell everybody I know that are looking for a new fur baby to please go here! We are so grateful for our lil Loki!!

Great place to get puppy.

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.

After reading all the scathing reviews on Yelp and weighing my options, I decided that the puppy I found on the Lifeline website was too good to pass up. We were very happy with the service we received during the adoption process but there are some things that I want to point out. 1. If you have a specific puppy in mind that you want, get there EARLY!!! 1 hour early is not nearly enough if you want one in particular. We pulled into the driveway at 8:00 am, a full 3 hours before they opened, and were the first car in line but the 2nd car arrived less than 5 minutes later. By the time 11:00 rolled around there were 25-30 cars lined up. Every car in line will receive a number about 10-15 minutes prior to the gates opening. When the gates open, you will pull in, park and then everyone will stand behind a rope waiting to be let in to view the puppies. Myself and the 2nd car to arrive were let in first prior to the bigger portions of the group and had all the volunteers ready to help. If you are looking for a specific companion that you will have for potentially over 10 years, I cannot stress how important it is to arrive very very early. Charge your phone, bring a snack, and take a nap. It's worth the wait. 2. If you do not arrive early, plan to be among groups of 7-10 families that are released all together based on the number you received in line. As there are only so many volunteers you may not immediately get the help nor the puppy that you want. That has nothing to do with the volunteer's willingness to help, but rather the overwhelming number of people that all think they deserve to be helped immediately as well. 3. The puppies are NOT kept permanently in the kennels that you see them in during the adoption time like other reviews have stated. I watched no short of 20 different cars driven by fosters arrive prior to opening to drop off the puppies. 4. On to the health of my puppy. Although many reviewers have stated that their puppies had Parvo or any number of problems after adoption which I agree can be horrible, I on the other hand have a perfectly healthy puppy. Upon adoption, Lifeline will give you a list of 40 vet clinics around Colorado that will give you a free puppy wellness evaluation which is great and a service that you should take advantage of. I was able to call my current vet and they offered the same exam at no charge so do not feel like you must go to one of those 40 clinics given by Lifeline. I did pay for them to look at a stool sample where they found a very slight Coccidia infection. My vet assured me it is very common and treatable. The total bill for the stool sample eval and 5-day treatment for the Coccidia came to just over $50. I cannot speak to, nor am trying to speak to, any of the interactions others have had with Lifeline in the past, but from my perspective, this place is run as smooth and organized as possible. If you are even considering adopting a puppy, at least give Lifeline a shot. If they were intentionally adopting out sick puppies, they would no longer be in business; there are always risks when adopting from a shelter. Think of it this way, if Lifeline hadn't intervened and taken in these puppies, they would have been euthanized at the shelters they were at previously. TL;DR Get there very early or you will wait and possibly miss out on the puppy you want, my puppy is healthy, give Lifeline a shot.

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.

Thank you guys for all you do !!! We are in love with our baby Sierra ! <3

We love our Winnie. He is our life!! We had a very positive experience and adoption process. Great staff, love the events and all of the charity donations they raise.

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.

I got this girl in April and she’s almost 1 year old! Although she was a bit sick when I adopted her, Lifeline took care of her until she was all better. They are great!

I got my sweet dog, Harper from Lifeline. It was a little chaotic, but just make sure you read (hours/instructions) from their FB site and on their main website. After being informed, I arrived early, received a number and was able to take her home. The majority of people who work there are volunteers, so be patient and remember the adoption day is hectic for everyone. My dog, Harper is a terrier/chihuahua mix and is smart, loving and playful. Thank you Lifeline for bringing her into my life!

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.

About two weeks ago I adopted from Lifeline after keeping my eyes on this dog for weeks through their website. They were extremely helpful through the process, answered all of my questions, and they even allowed me to bring my older dog to their location to meet my new guy before bringing him home. I would highly recommend Lifeline. Also, I wanted the staff to know that “Ralphie” is now “Louie” and he is doing great and has been a fun addition to the family. Him and his brother play and snuggle constantly!

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

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. ️

I got the best dog in the world there!

I adopted my boy Dave from lifeline almost 11 years ago (Dave turns 11 next month!). Man I love this dog, and I'm thankful lifeline brought him to me. If you want a puppy, please come here, such great work is being done! I'll be back... hopefully several years from now, but I'll be back!

This place is awesome. I have adopted from here twice. A no kill shelter doing a great job! Keep up the good work to the entire staff and all of the volunteers that keep this place going

We got our puppy, Holly, here last December. She was already spayed so we didn't have to deal with that. She is so great. The staff was friendly enough to us. I would adopt from there again.

Such a wonderful experience and much less stressful than we thought it was going to be. Little Toshi played in a big backyard today and then crashed out.
