We love � our puppy! You guys were great!!! Thank you!

I adopted Bailey in 2001 and he was my true soulmate. He lived 16 years and brought me such joy every day of those 26 years!

Never thought I would meet our best friend there! I so love our dog, have for 11 years. So grateful. Highly recommended. -Michael (heather's hubby and millies dad).

Best place to get your puppy

I got my diesel from them and they were wonderful - If I was closer I would continue to get my pups from them

We adopted a 4 month old male Shepard mix yesterday and he is the dog of our dreams. He is so sweet and has a pretty good idea of what is right and wrong. I would highly recommend adopting from life line

We had a great experience!! Love our new family member

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

What an incredible experience! Lifeline LOVES on these puppies until they find their forever homes. The adoption process goes so quick and smooth. I will recommend Lifeline to everyone!! Thank you!

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

We got our Kylo there! Great place. Great care. A must for anyone looking to give a puppy a forever home. �

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!!!!

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.

Can't wait to see all the adorable puppies at the Colorado convention center Friday !!!

It’s just a great process and service!

Our Auggie is now 10 months old and we brought him home at eight weeks. We are amazed at what a fabulous and healthy dog he is. He was potty trained by 11 weeks. He has been great with kids, at and even our bird.He is the happiest, most easy going dog we’ve ever had. We showed up out of the blue after visiting a different rescue and adopted Auggie in about an hour and a half. We don’t know his mix, lab something, but whatever it is is perfect. Our experience was and still is great.

Such a great service for puppies and people! The process is a little hectic, but fair. Very professional people, whom are very helpful and friendly. When we were told our Rey was not spayed yet one of my children started to cry so one of the gals there asked if she could fix it with some M&M's and of course it fixed everything. When we decide to adopt another puppy, we will use there services again. Thank you Lifeline for our new kid :D

I adopted my boy Dave from lifeline almost 11 years ago (Dave turns 11 next month!). Man I love this dog, and I'm thankful lifeline brought him to me. If you want a puppy, please come here, such great work is being done! I'll be back... hopefully several years from now, but I'll be back!

I’ve adopted all of my dogs here, going back to our first, Jazper, over 20 years ago! The staff and volunteers love what they do and are so incredibly helpful, friendly, and dedicated. The puppies are well cared for and it was easy to find the puppy I wanted! I wouldn’t go anywhere else to adopt a puppy!

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!!

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.
