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

Just had a great encounter with a foster parent Eduardo! He was walking a momma and her 9 puppies on a path near my home. All the pups and their mom were well behaved and very social! Eduardo was very informative about the rescue, clearly took pride in raising well socialized puppies, and took the time to answer all of the questions that came from everyone so amused to see the site of 9 tiny pups and their mom walking on the path! Thank you so much for doing good in our community! Sincerely Fellow animal lover

they are doing a wonderful thing to save these pupps

I can't say enough about the folks at Lifeline! They go the extra mile to make sure the puppies they take in are cared for and find GOOD homes. Our Marshmallow is such a cutie (and pain in the butt), we are so thankful for Lifeline bringing him in to our lives. ❤️❤️

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!!

Awesome people very friendly and tons of puppies to look for and save. Great staff!

Lifeline Puppy Rescue gave me my best friend(s)! My family adopted our first family dog from here, and now 18 years later, I returned here to adopt my own puppy - and it was the best decision I've ever made! The staff is friendly, knowledgable and they really care about the puppies that come into their rescue. Thanks for all that you do for these puppers!

Love this place! Adopt a dog, and then go adopt another.

Amazing Place! Super nice volunteers. You can tell the puppies are all well loved and taken care of. We adopted a beautiful Red Heeler puppy and referred many friends since then.

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

Got my Joey here seven years ago! The rescue is a joy to work with! Have sent many friends here when they are looking to adopt!

no kill org and caring to pups and the mom

We'd highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We were happy with Lifeline and will adopt there again. We adopted 11 years ago and just said goodbye to our Molly Wednesday. She was a GREAT dog & we miss her very much but when the time is right, we'll definitely be back.

We adopted Ruby almost 7 years ago from you. She is the best gift to us ever!! We are thinking it’s time for another baby. Ruby would be so happy!! Waiting and watching for what’s meant to be.

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!!!

We got our puppy who was about six weeks old 4/18/2005, he is an amazing dog, best decision ever.

We got our dog Bear from Lifeline almost 2 years ago. He’s been such a wonderful companion and is so loved. We had a great experience adopting him, and all the volunteers were helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Lifeline and have sent a few friends and they have adopted puppies as well. Here he is now, and his adoption photo.

My boyfriend and I adopted our little thunder on Valentine's Day and it was the best choice we have ever made. We will definitely be back in a couple weeks to adopt another little pup❤️❤️

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!

We got our sweet boy khan for here almost 6 years ago we are so blessed to have him and wouldn't change him for the world!! Thank you and We appreciate all you do for these sweet animals!!

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.
