I adopted my beloved border collie through lifeline. Such a great organization for rescue animals. Anyone looking for a loveable family addition, this is the place to go. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and they have open adoptions every weekend! I've referred everyone I know here. Thank you so much lifeline for my fur baby ��

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 love fostering and volunteering with all the pups❤️

I got my sweet dog, Harper from Lifeline. It was a little chaotic, but just make sure you read (hours/instructions) from their FB site and on their main website. After being informed, I arrived early, received a number and was able to take her home. The majority of people who work there are volunteers, so be patient and remember the adoption day is hectic for everyone. My dog, Harper is a terrier/chihuahua mix and is smart, loving and playful. Thank you Lifeline for bringing her into my life!

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

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

They make it easy to find a puppy to love at a reasonable cost.

I adopted my “puppy” from lifeline over 16 years ago. It was the best decision I have ever made! Thanks Lifeline for helping me find a family member who is still happy and enjoying life!

2 dogs from lifeline 15 years apart. Thank you!!!

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!

This place is awesome. I have adopted from here twice. A no kill shelter doing a great job! Keep up the good work to the entire staff and all of the volunteers that keep this place going

We adopted our new baby 2 weeks ago and love him so much! We had such a great experience I tell everybody I know that are looking for a new fur baby to please go here! We are so grateful for our lil Loki!!

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

Thank you for giving us our baby girl! Highly recommend Lifeline. They take great care of their puppies and answer any questions you have! So friendly! ️

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!

Our pup Kala is from lifeline. Smartest and most sweet dog ever! :-) black lab possible mix but she's smarter than top tier black lab breeds! We love lifeline for giving us our baby girl!

We got our amazing loveable companions Lulu and Tito from Lifeline. Best dogs ever!!!! Thank you Lifeline.

Lifeline Puppy Rescue works so hard to save puppies from places like New Mexico and Texas that will most likely end up in an overcrowded kill shelter. They nurse them back to health and give them opportunities for an amazing and fulfilling life.

You all are awesome! Great facility, easy to navigate website, super fun fundraising events, great adoption process!

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

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.
