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.

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

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

I got the best dog in the world there!

Super Excited to Hopefully get a New Family Member!!!

We got our dog, Sophie, there 9 1/2 years ago. She is beautiful and smart and we are so glad our friends recommended Lifeline Puppy Rescue to us!

Such an amazing organization!!! We are believers in adopting not shopping but also wanted to have puppies! This is the best place to do both!! Love our pups (you can see them on IG @camberandjamal ) from here more than life and are so grateful to Lifeline for saving them!!!

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

This is where i adopted my puppy 12 years ago!!!

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!

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

We have adopted 2 dogs over the years from Lifeline Puppy Rescue and they have both been wonderful! Lifeline Puppy Rescue does a great job helping dogs!

We'd highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We were happy with Lifeline and will adopt there again. We adopted 11 years ago and just said goodbye to our Molly Wednesday. She was a GREAT dog & we miss her very much but when the time is right, we'll definitely be back.

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

We love fostering and volunteering with all the pups❤️

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.

3 years ago I got my two amazing pyr/lab mixes at lifeline. I cannot imagine my life without them.

Seems like a wonderful organization. I was very happy with my experience with them.

Got my Thor from them..he is wonderful addition to our small family....thank you.

The staff at Lifeline are fantastic! We found the sweetest baby girl, CC. The adoption process is easy but thorough. I like that they go through the puppy class before you leave. We couldn't be happier with our new addition!

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.
