I just wanted to reach out and give a big “Thank you” to Lifeline! We adopted our sweet little boy, Finnegan, a little over a month ago from this rescue! He came healthy, happy, and mostly potty trained (which I certainly was not expecting for an 8 week old pup)! He’s been such a wonderful addition to our little family and I couldn’t be more in love with my sweet little boy ❤️! Thank you!!

Amazing rescue that truly cares about the puppies as well as controlling the pet population so we can avoid unnecessary deaths for these amazing animals/friends/family members!

My husband and I got our puppy at Lifeline almost 3 years ago and he is just the best dog we could have asked for. We now have a 2 year old and he has grown up with her and is such a protector of her. Best dogs! He is a Rottweiler/German Shephard mix and is full of energy. I wish there was a way to find his siblings he was with to see how they grew up. I would go back there in a minute to get another puppy!! Very recommended!

We got our wonderful pup Chloe from here. They are great!

They are an amazing group that save lives! We got our wonderful lab mix, Lucy, from them and are so grateful.

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 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

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.

We had a great experience adopting our puppy drone Lifeline, and felt fully educated and prepared before we headed home with the little guy :) he’s been a wonderful addition to our fur family and his big (little) brother loves him just as much as we do!

Adorable puppies, well taken care of, nice staff. Scott was awesome.

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!!

The best place I have ever bought a dog from. Well taken care of and loved. All my dogs from them have turned out to be truly great. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very professional! Take VERY good care of the puppies!

We got our amazing loveable companions Lulu and Tito from Lifeline. Best dogs ever!!!! Thank you Lifeline.

Can't wait to see all the adorable puppies at the Colorado convention center Friday !!!

I just wanted to say thank you to Lifeline Puppy Rescue. We adopted our dog Maverick on Sept. 1st of this year and we are beyond lucky to have this guy in our lives. Maverick was rehomed before we adopted him and Lifeline gave us all the info we needed to get him started on a routine and proper training to make sure this guy is living his best life. I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue to anyone looking to adopt a new pup.

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

Love

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

We got our ginger girl there!! We absolutely love her!

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.
