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!!!!

We strongly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and the process of finding a new friend for my parents was easy and fun. We were nervous about the idea of first come first serve but there was no pressure and everyone there was just trying to find their match. It’s was great to be able to walk around and see the liters of pups and meet with several of them. My advice would be to have a few in mind and then see what the personalities are.

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

Thank you for an amazing volunteer opportunity and orientation today. Fabulous people, no kill puppy rescue, and of course the PUPS you save every day. Bless you.

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 adopted our sweet 8month old dachshund corgi mix Thea yesterday from Lifeline Puppy Rescue! We got there around 2 in the afternoon, which was fantastic! There wasn't that many people there and we were aloud to wonder around looking at puppies. A volunteer immediately approached us explaining their process and rules. They told us to not put our fingers in the cages for puppy health reasons, which we really respected, it showed they are looking out for the puppies. Our little Thea (was Thelma) immediately caught our attention. The same volunteer set up her kennel for us to meet her. She gave us some treats for Thea to come up to us, while kept checking in with us to see how things were going. When we decided to adopt our sweet Thea, they took us into this building for a class explaining the process on how to raise a puppy, how to fill out the application, what the email they send you says and how to read it, along with vaccine information. We felt very confident in our decision. Our sweet Thea is the perfect addition to our family. We have already told our friends that want puppies about our amazing experience. THANK YOU LIFELINE PUPPY RESCUE!! We are ridiculously in love!

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!

We adopted our 1 year old Ruby from LLPR a couple months back. They were very up-front about what her training needs would be..and that she had given birth to 9 pups recently. Adoption process was easy, and I could tell that they truly cared about their pups and dogs. ❤❤

Best place to get your puppy

We brought home our newest family member yesterday! We're so in love!! So happy she came with shots, spayed, deworming, and a microchip. Very happy to support a rescue and not puppy store!

I got the best dog in the world there!

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

Very helpful and friendly but they could use some more help

Wonderful place! We rescued our wonderful dog from them 7 years ago!

My son adopted his dog Riley there 9 Years ago. He recently passed away from an apparent heart attack. But was a loyal trusted friend who lived his person. He’s the big one

My best good girl came from this rescue back in 2002. She was my first dog as an adult. We had to put her down last year and she took a part of my heart with her. This rescue is great and rescues pups from remote areas. Thank you for my first fur child.

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!!!

Over the last 16 years my parents have adopted two healthy puppies from lifeline and I recently got my first pup here. They genuinely care about the puppies/dogs and are very helpful with questions and the adoption process. Adopting can be competitive in CO and this place does great. It seems that going on weeks with more puppies that are around holidays/good weather will be busier and feel more competitive than colder weekends with less puppies. Regardless over the years they've always had a great selection.

I have a albino pup that is deaf from them. Smart dog and very good. Listen better then my dogs that hear!

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.
