Met a pretty baby girl and her handsome brother at the MDA Firefighter Chili Cookoff. Puppies and firemen, what could be better? Being able to bring the pretty baby girl home, that's what. Thank you for allowing Autumn to be part of our family!

2 dogs from lifeline 15 years apart. Thank you!!!

Love this place! Adopt a dog, and then go adopt another.

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!

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.

We LOVE our little puppy, Zeus! We got him right before Christmas. The staff was super helpful and we were able to take our little guy home quickly! He is happy and healthy! I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue!

We rescued our Mika last weekend through Lifeline Puppy Rescue and couldn’t be happier with the experience that we had! Everyone was friendly and super helpful. If I could give every puppy here a furrever home, I would! Thank you for letting us adopt Mika and add her to our little family! If you want to adopt a puppy (or 2 or 10) I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! ❤️

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).

Got my adorable pup, Jenko here a little over a week ago and I'm IN LOVE with him. All should adopt from Lifeline.

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

very caring people, doing their best to help as many puppies and dogs as they can.

Awesome people very friendly and tons of puppies to look for and save. Great staff!

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!

I adopted my sweet Border collie mix Lola from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in 2001. She lived a long happy 17 years with us and was the best pup ever!

I got my, "Li'l Miss," dog, Pippa last Saturday from Lifeline Puppy Rescue. She was a rescue from a puppy mill the week before and had been spayed and also had a second surgery to remove 3 bladder stones from her bladder. I let Chelsea know that I was interested in giving her a loving caring life, once she was through her post surgery challenges. Chelsea and staff were so helpful and kept up communications for a week, with me, updating her improvements. So helpful, so knowledgeable and the process was super easy, to adopt her. I got Pippa last Saturday afternoon, and brought her back on Sunday to start obedience training. That Pippa had a bond with Chelsea and was starting to bond with me, the training went very well. She was eager to listen and please both of us! A win-win situation! Anyway, Lifeline Puppy Rescue deserves 5 stars for the services they provide. I am certain that my new 4 year young pup, Pippa and I, were meant to find each other and it was all Divine Timing.

they provide excellent care to puppies until they are able to find furever homes for them. staff and volunteers all have a heart for each and every one of the puppies!

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!

We got our puppy who was about six weeks old 4/18/2005, he is an amazing dog, best decision ever.

I have adopted 2 dogs from lifeline puppy and both have been the best pets I’ve ever owned . I cannot say enough about this amazing place

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!

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.
