LPR is a wonderful, kind facility. I am gaining volunteering experience there and would recommend it to anyone. I will certainly get my next dog through Lifeline.

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

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!

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. ���

We had a great experience adopting our puppy drone Lifeline, and felt fully educated and prepared before we headed home with the little guy :) he’s been a wonderful addition to our fur family and his big (little) brother loves him just as much as we do!

We got our wonderful pup Chloe from here. They are great!

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

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 adopted my little Nyx on April 2nd 2016. They were so awesome and fair and just loved how pulling up and walking in you could tell the were all about the puppies and dogs. They are very well organized that made getting my little sweetie that much better. Thank you lifeline puppy for all you do!!

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

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

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.

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.

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

I found my Ursa there more than 10 years ago. She was a Keeshond mix, and was so loving and sweet! This is a great place!!!!

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

We love our rescue! They were great throughout the whole process.

This place is amazing! They really care for the puppies and I love that they travel to save puppies that would otherwise be euthinized. We have adopted 3 pups from Lifeline over the past 15 years and couldn't be happier. The most recent, Otis, is a 2 year old, Lhasa Apso mix and might be the funniest, sweetest dog we've ever met! Definitely give this place a look - worth the drive!

We adopted our puppy Ollie a little over a month ago and I cannot recommend lifeline puppy rescue enough! It's not just a come pick out a puppy and get out. You can tell these folks care about the puppies and want them to go to happy, loving homes.

Adopted my sweet Red Heeler, Milo from Lifeline Puppy Rescue just two months ago. The adoption process was quick and easy ( but make sure you show up early to get in line if you have a specific pup in mind!). Thank you for saving these pups and helping my find my furry best friend.

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.
