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!!!!

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

Great staff. They take care of the dogs.

We just adopted a puppy today and i was impressed with rescue all the puppies seemed well kept and loved. We will definitely recommend this place to others.

We picked up or puppy lat Saturday and so far have been very pleased. He is pretty good with using the potty outside, knows sit, wait, and knows his kennel. He still gets excites over our kitties but we are making process. We still jave alot of training to go but hes is very loving and is making a food addition to our family. Thank you so much!! -the Greaneys

Best place to get your puppy

Our zooey is the most loving and energetic puppy! She has been an amazing addiction to our family! Thank you lifeline for my fur baby!

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!

Thank you guys for all you do !!! We are in love with our baby Sierra ! <3

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

This is a NO kill shelter. We currently have 3 rescues from Lifeline. They are an incredible organization that save so many puppies and mother dogs from high kill shelters.

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.

We have adopted 2 dogs over the years from Lifeline Puppy Rescue and they have both been wonderful! Lifeline Puppy Rescue does a great job helping dogs!

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

~Just adopted our sweet baby boy Bane on Saturday! I cannot even express how much love he has brought to our family and how sweet he is. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to loving Bane for MANY years to come! He was meant to be ours! THANK YOU!

We adopted our sweet girl a few weeks ago and not only has she been an amazing dog and perfect addition to our family but it was great experience getting her. If you have a specific dog you’re wanting I would go early because people start to show up early. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. Turkey had a great first vet visit and is a very healthy little girl. If we ever decide to adopt again we will definitely choose lifeline again. ️

Super Excited to Hopefully get a New Family Member!!!

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 love Lifeline Puppy Rescue. Both of our dogs were rescues from Lifeline. We foster puppies from time to time and that's how we chose one of our dogs. We've recently fostered a pregnant mother who gave birth to 8 healthy pups. Scott from Lifeline was our lifesaver. He gave our family all kinds of support and guidance; always going above and beyond. Thank you for working so hard to help all the pups out there without homes, Lifeline!

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

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.
