My husband and I adopted our puppy Nala from here and we are so happy. Lifeline is an amazing rescue! The people who work here amazing! Our puppy brings smiles to our faces everyday! Thank you so much lifeline to the wonderful addition to our family!

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

I have adopted from lifeline twice and they were both great experiences! My dad also adopted his dog from here as well! Great rescue!

It’s just a great process and service!

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!

We adopted our girls Maggie and Dakota from Lifeline in 1997. They are gone now but we always remember Lifeline and our experience with them. When we are ready for a new friend we will give them a call.

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.

We met our 5 month Lucy girl with Lifeline Puppy rescue! We � her and are so lucky!

Love my pup. Such a good organization to adopt from.

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!

I just wanted to say thank you to Lifeline Puppy Rescue. We adopted our dog Maverick on Sept. 1st of this year and we are beyond lucky to have this guy in our lives. Maverick was rehomed before we adopted him and Lifeline gave us all the info we needed to get him started on a routine and proper training to make sure this guy is living his best life. I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue to anyone looking to adopt a new pup.

Rescued my little girl from you.

adopted a little border collie/lab mix almost 2 weeks ago - aside from a miscommunication about when to come and pick him up, which was quickly resolved and a time scheduled for us the next day, our experience with Lifeline was wonderful. Our little Newton was pretty much 100% pad trained when we brought him home, doing half the work of housebreaking for us! His free vet checkup confirmed that he's completely healthy and he's happy, playful, and thriving! Thanks for getting him off to such a great start!

About two weeks ago I adopted from Lifeline after keeping my eyes on this dog for weeks through their website. They were extremely helpful through the process, answered all of my questions, and they even allowed me to bring my older dog to their location to meet my new guy before bringing him home. I would highly recommend Lifeline. Also, I wanted the staff to know that “Ralphie” is now “Louie” and he is doing great and has been a fun addition to the family. Him and his brother play and snuggle constantly!

I volunteer here and I love it! I also foster puppies during the week. All of our puppies are loved. We just want them to find a forever loving home. Thank you all who give them that.

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

Love

Lifeline is ALL about finding humans for puppies! What an organization. The staff members are knowledgeable and dedicated. The volunteers are willing and dedicated!

We rescued our Mika last weekend through Lifeline Puppy Rescue and couldn’t be happier with the experience that we had! Everyone was friendly and super helpful. If I could give every puppy here a furrever home, I would! Thank you for letting us adopt Mika and add her to our little family! If you want to adopt a puppy (or 2 or 10) I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! ❤️

This is where we found our sweet boy Koal 11 years ago. When he came up and tugged on my shoelace I knew he was the one for us. And even though he had a bit of a rough start he has become such a joy for my entire family. This is such a great rescue! Thank you!

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.
