I love my new puppy and the workers there are so helpful!!! It's a great puppy rescue!!!

Just got our baby from there yesterday. He's the sweetest little guy ever! We love him so much and are sooo happy we picked lifeline to pick a puppy from. Thank you so much for our new family member.

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!

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.

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!!!

My wife and I just adopted a puppy today. What a great place and great people. A really wonderful experience.

Our Remy is now one year old and we couldn’t be more in love! Three friends recommended we check out Lifeline. We researched quite a few shelters before going and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We highly recommended them!

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.

Best place to get your puppy

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

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

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

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.

It’s just a great process and service!

We adopted our sweet Lilly from Lifeline! She is so healthy, feisty and an awesome joy to us. We have had her nearly a year now.

We got a puppy in December and couldn't be happier.... Thanks for our New Fur baby boy Beast...

We found Ninja there 15 years ago. Also found Thor there 6 years ago. I love this place

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!!

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

We got our sweet girl Penelope here, in December. *Adoption was very easy, they explain their process very thoroughly. Great people, Great experience. Just Get there very early if you see a puppy you have in mind. *One Con though is once you leave with your puppy, it is difficult to get a hold of someone if you have questions or concerns. You have to message them and wait for response, but overall we had a great experience.

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.
