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!

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!

My husband and I got our puppy at Lifeline almost 3 years ago and he is just the best dog we could have asked for. We now have a 2 year old and he has grown up with her and is such a protector of her. Best dogs! He is a Rottweiler/German Shephard mix and is full of energy. I wish there was a way to find his siblings he was with to see how they grew up. I would go back there in a minute to get another puppy!! Very recommended!

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

We adopted our first puppy from Lifeline and it was such a great experience. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful! She is a fantastic dog and we couldn't be happier!! Thank you!!

It’s just a great process and service!

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!!

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.

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

Amazing experience getting the new member of our family! Highly recommend lifeline!

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.

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!

We got our puppy, Holly, here last December. She was already spayed so we didn't have to deal with that. She is so great. The staff was friendly enough to us. I would adopt from there again.

We have two amazing pups from Lifeline. The staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. Was a great and enjoyable experience. So happy with our pups, they are the happiest and best members of our family.

We just adopted our little Luna on Sunday. She is just perfect and has been a great addition to our family. All of the staff and volunteers were so amazing!

Radley was a wonderful addition to our pet family.

Such a wonderful place to adopt from. The staff is kind, attentive, and very helpful. After searching countless shelters for just the right fur baby I was ready to give up. A reccomendation from a friend led me to Lifeline and they did not dissapoint. I searched the listings for the right pup, found one and showed up about 3 hours before the gates opened on Saturday. (I had heard to get there early) I was 4th in line and thought...oh no, I'll never get my puppy with all these people in front of me. As I waited I met some really wonderful people. Some first time adopters and one woman who had adopted 6 times from just this place! Had to be wonderful I thought! As the gates opened I was overwhelmed with the number of pups searching for the right parent as we were all searching for our new addition. Having full intentions of finding the one I saw in the photos I walked by one puppy that stood out from the rest. She was beautiful and when her eyes locked mine I just knew - I met my Sakra. It's now over a year and she is the best dog I have ever owned. Lifeline Puppy Rescued me. They take such good care of these pups and most are volunteers. 1/2 the adoption fee goes back to the parents of the puppy to get spayed and neutered. They also give a class on care of your new family member as well as first set of shots and a microchip. Highly recommended!!!!

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!

Thank you so much lifeline! Our little Lilly could not be more at home and loved!!

I got my dog from there two years ago and it is the only place that I will ever go to now to get a dog you can tell they are very well taken care of and care about who is adopting the dogs I love my dog Decker!

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.
