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

I adopted my sweet Border collie mix Lola from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in 2001. She lived a long happy 17 years with us and was the best pup ever!

Just had a great encounter with a foster parent Eduardo! He was walking a momma and her 9 puppies on a path near my home. All the pups and their mom were well behaved and very social! Eduardo was very informative about the rescue, clearly took pride in raising well socialized puppies, and took the time to answer all of the questions that came from everyone so amused to see the site of 9 tiny pups and their mom walking on the path! Thank you so much for doing good in our community! Sincerely Fellow animal lover

Adopted my dog from Lifeline, worked out great! Will be back!

I have a albino pup that is deaf from them. Smart dog and very good. Listen better then my dogs that hear!

We adopted our puppy here. People were friendly and had a great variety of dogs. We love our pup so much. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because me and my friend (who also got her dog here) had a hard time getting our rebate after we got our dogs neutered. I would get our next dog here.

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

We got our current pup from you, trust your business

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!

We adopted our dog Simon from here 14 years ago. He was a good healthy mixed breed. When we're ready for another, we will be back. Our daughter just adopted from here and had a good experience also.

We bought a puppy last year and he is perfect. LPR is very informative and cares about the animals they home.

they are doing a wonderful thing to save these pupps

I have not been here since 1999 but this is where we adopted 2 of our puppies - 1 in 1997 & the other in 1999. Sadly both are gone. We lost Hershey in November at 14!

I’ve adopted my two dogs from here! Great experience! Kind people that are saving so many lives!

In 2010 I came to lifeline looking for my new best friend Kika, I had seen her picture on your website and immediately fell in love, I knew as soon as I saw her I wouldn't be leaving that day without her. 3 years later my fiancé and I decided she needed a friend so we got back on your website and found Cairo, again, as soon as we both saw the picture we knew. We came back to the shelter and thank god we were the first ones there so we got first pick, the family that pulled up behind us was also there for Cairo. � We lucked out! He is one of the best dogs I've ever owned, as is she. I've never been happier and I'm happy to say they are healthy, happy, spoiled dogs and I just wanted to say thank you for bringing us together. They light up our life every single day. I have tons of pictures of them on my profile if you ever care to see your more then welcome. Thank you for what you guys do! We've never been happier, keep up the good work and god bless all of you. Thank you. ���

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.

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

We got our amazing puppy here and couldn't be happier. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They really are all about helping these babies find forever homes!

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.

We just went and picked out/up our little girl Honey yesterday... I really liked the structured process considering first come first serve.. I wish they had a little more back history on the pups but understand why they dont ( As they are just genuinely trying to save puppies from kill shelters) the only other complaint is that my girlfriend saw on the website that they offer 30days of "pet care (insurance if you will)" following your adoption only to be told in person that they no longer offer such services... other then that I'd send any of my friends and family there to get a pup in a heart beat... And as for the people talking about "0 help" with their pups. Honey got an extremely bad tummy ache and started vomiting a couple days after we brought her home and the staff at lifeline ACTED EXTREMLY PROFESSIONAL in assisting us with our puppies illness, kept her over night to closely monitor her gave us an end of night update and let us know the next day that she was feeling much better and we could go pick her up... and they assured me that if anything else happened to her to simply bring her back and they would get her fixed up.. and that's WITHOUT THE INSURANCE POLICY.. But she is happy as ever cuddling with my kiddos as I type this message... Thanks again for my adorable pup and professionalism in dealing with her tummy bug!!

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.
