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

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.

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

I adopted Bailey in 2001 and he was my true soulmate. He lived 16 years and brought me such joy every day of those 26 years!

very caring people, doing their best to help as many puppies and dogs as they can.

We adopted a 4 month old male Shepard mix yesterday and he is the dog of our dreams. He is so sweet and has a pretty good idea of what is right and wrong. I would highly recommend adopting from life line

Such a wonderful place to adopt from. The staff is kind, attentive, and very helpful. After searching countless shelters for just the right fur baby I was ready to give up. A reccomendation from a friend led me to Lifeline and they did not dissapoint. I searched the listings for the right pup, found one and showed up about 3 hours before the gates opened on Saturday. (I had heard to get there early) I was 4th in line and thought...oh no, I'll never get my puppy with all these people in front of me. As I waited I met some really wonderful people. Some first time adopters and one woman who had adopted 6 times from just this place! Had to be wonderful I thought! As the gates opened I was overwhelmed with the number of pups searching for the right parent as we were all searching for our new addition. Having full intentions of finding the one I saw in the photos I walked by one puppy that stood out from the rest. She was beautiful and when her eyes locked mine I just knew - I met my Sakra. It's now over a year and she is the best dog I have ever owned. Lifeline Puppy Rescued me. They take such good care of these pups and most are volunteers. 1/2 the adoption fee goes back to the parents of the puppy to get spayed and neutered. They also give a class on care of your new family member as well as first set of shots and a microchip. Highly recommended!!!!

I adopted my boy Dave from lifeline almost 11 years ago (Dave turns 11 next month!). Man I love this dog, and I'm thankful lifeline brought him to me. If you want a puppy, please come here, such great work is being done! I'll be back... hopefully several years from now, but I'll be back!

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

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!!

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

We got our baby here almost 12 years ago & she is truly my Soul dog! This is a Great place that I highly recommend. I will definitely come here again after my babies have moved on to the rainbow bridge

My boyfriend and I adopted our little thunder on Valentine's Day and it was the best choice we have ever made. We will definitely be back in a couple weeks to adopt another little pup❤️❤️

I got my Maxx dog almost 10 years ago and he still acts like a puppy. I was his foster mom but I couldn't let him go. So I kept him. Being a foster mom was great seeing the puppies go to there forever homes was so rewarding.

We met our 5 month Lucy girl with Lifeline Puppy rescue! We � her and are so lucky!

I got my diesel from them and they were wonderful - If I was closer I would continue to get my pups from them

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.

We foster for Lifeline. They are a wonderful caring organization that truly puts the pups first. We adopted our new addition over the weekend.♡♡♡♡

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.

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.
