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.

Got my puppy Baylee from them this summer and she is a fantastic dog. The staff was very helpful while we were there too.

We just adopted a puppy today and i was impressed with rescue all the puppies seemed well kept and loved. We will definitely recommend this place to others.

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.

I can't say enough about the folks at Lifeline! They go the extra mile to make sure the puppies they take in are cared for and find GOOD homes. Our Marshmallow is such a cutie (and pain in the butt), we are so thankful for Lifeline bringing him in to our lives. ❤️❤️

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

Lifeline Puppy Rescue is a great organization placing so many dogs in fur-ver homes. We recently adopted a lab-mix from Lifeline and we were so pleased with the entire process. "Piper" has been the perfect addition to our family. <3 Thank you for completing our family.

We had a great experience!! Love our new family member

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!

Our zooey is the most loving and energetic puppy! She has been an amazing addiction to our family! Thank you lifeline for my fur baby!

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

We got our little girl through Lifeline and absolutely love, love, love her! We were a little hesitant about getting another dog, saw her on your website, went there to meet her and fell in love! We were amazed at the wonderful things you do there in getting all those pups and dogs adopted out. It was wonderful that she was already fixed and had her 1st set of shots. It cant be easy caring for all those dogs before adoption. We would definently recommend your organization to anyone looking to add a fluffy member to their home. Thanks for all you do there and thank you for our new pup! �

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

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.

Great, no kill organization. They have the process DOWN. Very efficient, and friendly. We’re already in love with our new family member!

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).

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!

Our Auggie is now 10 months old and we brought him home at eight weeks. We are amazed at what a fabulous and healthy dog he is. He was potty trained by 11 weeks. He has been great with kids, at and even our bird.He is the happiest, most easy going dog we’ve ever had. We showed up out of the blue after visiting a different rescue and adopted Auggie in about an hour and a half. We don’t know his mix, lab something, but whatever it is is perfect. Our experience was and still is great.

My babies are 10-11 now and both came from this amazing rescue. These people are doing wonderful things and anyone looking to get a dog should check out lifeline first. Thanks for connecting me with my best friends lifeline.

What a fantastic adoption experience!!!! The staff is friendly, grounds are clean, organized and fair! We got to the rescue at 9am and were about 5th in line. It was snowing like crazy but you get to wait in your car so that is very convenient. They give you numbers as you drive through the gate so it's fair for everyone. We got a puppy from the litter we wanted and we love her. The puppies were clean and well taken care of. The staff seems like they really care and they love their work. They are a no kill shelter and keep the puppies until they are adopted. The adoption session is lengthy so dont be in a hurry. We got there about 9 and left about 1pm.

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.
