We got our dog, Sophie, there 9 1/2 years ago. She is beautiful and smart and we are so glad our friends recommended Lifeline Puppy Rescue to us!

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

I adopted my beloved border collie through lifeline. Such a great organization for rescue animals. Anyone looking for a loveable family addition, this is the place to go. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and they have open adoptions every weekend! I've referred everyone I know here. Thank you so much lifeline for my fur baby ��

Lifeline Puppy Rescue is a wonderful organization that saves many puppies every week. This rescue truly cares about the well-being of the dogs under their care, takes the time to train and communicate with volunteers, and provides fosters with everything they need and more. I highly recommend supporting Lifeline Puppy Rescue!

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!!!!

Got my dog here almost 7 years ago and she is a great dog and lifeline puppies was awesome and easy to work with.

Love

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

they provide excellent care to puppies until they are able to find furever homes for them. staff and volunteers all have a heart for each and every one of the puppies!

it's a wonderful caring organization. they do so much to save these wonderful pups.

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

I've gotten both of my dogs from here, and I would never go anywhere else.

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

Lifeline Puppy Rescue is a great organization placing so many dogs in fur-ver homes. We recently adopted a lab-mix from Lifeline and we were so pleased with the entire process. "Piper" has been the perfect addition to our family. <3 Thank you for completing our family.

We just adopted a puppy today and i was impressed with rescue all the puppies seemed well kept and loved. We will definitely recommend this place to others.

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

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

I got my sweet dog, Harper from Lifeline. It was a little chaotic, but just make sure you read (hours/instructions) from their FB site and on their main website. After being informed, I arrived early, received a number and was able to take her home. The majority of people who work there are volunteers, so be patient and remember the adoption day is hectic for everyone. My dog, Harper is a terrier/chihuahua mix and is smart, loving and playful. Thank you Lifeline for bringing her into my life!

I adopted my Toad in February of '15. He's 1 now and the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Rescued my little girl from 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.
