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.

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.

Lexi is our rescue puppy- A friendly, easy and hassle free process. She has been an amazing addition to our family.

We love our rescue! They were great throughout the whole process.

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

Love my pup. Such a good organization to adopt from.

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).

2nd dog, and second great experience. Get there early on Saturdays.

We got our sweet boy khan for here almost 6 years ago we are so blessed to have him and wouldn't change him for the world!! Thank you and We appreciate all you do for these sweet animals!!

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.

we adopted our newest addition from lifeline last weekend. i saw her on the website the day before & fell in love with her picture, so we arrived 2 hours early to the event which made us #4 in line. this allowed us to go in a couple minutes ahead of the other people in line which is nice, but if we had wanted to look at another dog, we wouldn't have been able to. fell more in love with our ella after spending time in the play area with her. spent 5 hours at the event total. all in all it was an easy process. we couldn't be happier about our puppy. she is very happy and healthy.

We adopted a precious shepherd/lab mix from Lifeline this weekend. The process is organized and fairly efficient, considering all the puppies and potential adopters. Take a look at the available pups before you go for sure because once you get there, especially on Saturdays, there are lots of people, and you should be ready to ask a volunteer to visit with a specific puppy or at least one from a litter you’ve picked out from the online pics the day/days before. You should definitely try to get there before 11am when they open, as they give you a number in order of arrival. If you’re adopting, plan to be there for about 2 hours give or take. The employees/volunteers there are helpful and kind, and once you’re ready to adopt, they provide thorough details of the adoption contract, review the paperwork and instructions in one big group - super efficient. Bring cash for extremely fast check out once instructional seminar is finished. Credit card line can be long, but moves fairly quickly. They also sell full size crates with divider for a reasonable price and puppy starter kit so that you don’t have to stop off at the pet store on the way home - leash & collar, few days worth of food, a few chew toys, food and water bowl - all for about $20 or 30, I think. Our new puppy is beautiful, playful, curious and sweet. She’s already spayed and has her initial immunizations. We’re so excited about the many years ahead with our Scout!

Got my Joey here seven years ago! The rescue is a joy to work with! Have sent many friends here when they are looking to adopt!

Wonderful organization - truly can not thank them enough.

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!

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.

I’ve adopted my two dogs from here! Great experience! Kind people that are saving so many lives!

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!

We have gotten both of our pups here. I can't say enough great things about the staff and what they do. Such a great place!!

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!
