We strongly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and the process of finding a new friend for my parents was easy and fun. We were nervous about the idea of first come first serve but there was no pressure and everyone there was just trying to find their match. It’s was great to be able to walk around and see the liters of pups and meet with several of them. My advice would be to have a few in mind and then see what the personalities are.

The very best place to adopt a puppy!

I volunteer here and I love it! I also foster puppies during the week. All of our puppies are loved. We just want them to find a forever loving home. Thank you all who give them that.

Thank you so much for our little Piper, we love her so much

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.

Amazing experience getting the new member of our family! Highly recommend lifeline!

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

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!!

Got my dog here almost 7 years ago and she is a great dog and lifeline puppies was awesome and easy to work with.

I have adopted from lifeline twice and they were both great experiences! My dad also adopted his dog from here as well! Great rescue!

Love

We love fostering and volunteering with all the pups❤️

Thank you Lifeline Puppy Rescue for rescuing our sweet pup 8 years ago. We are so grateful for your wonderful organization. Your organization has saved so many loving puppies and provided them with loving families. Thumbs up to the great service you provide.

We had a great experience with the adoption process. They were helpful and explained the process well. My husband and I were not sure how to go about the process, however when we were ready we showed up an hour before the event and waited. We could tell they are very experienced in the adoption process within about 5 mins of getting there. The key to adopting from anyone is to try to pick your puppy before you go and get there early! We adopted Scout (Puppy # 16-925) at 8 weeks old, he is now a 17 week old happy and healthy lil ball of love! As a side note I appreciate lifeline's attention to Pitt Bull puppies. They made sure the puppies didn't go to homes that would have to give them up secondary to where people live. It was nice to see their dedication at finding a good and FOREVER home for these little pups! We are so in love with our Scout! Thank you for what you do!!!

I got my lab/husky mix AXE a week ago today :) he's already my best friend :) . :D

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.

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!

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!!

Found my best friend, Rio, here. Awesome staff and amazing organization.

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.

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.
