Very helpful and friendly but they could use some more help

2nd dog, and second great experience. Get there early on Saturdays.

We adopted our sweet girl a few weeks ago and not only has she been an amazing dog and perfect addition to our family but it was great experience getting her. If you have a specific dog you’re wanting I would go early because people start to show up early. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. Turkey had a great first vet visit and is a very healthy little girl. If we ever decide to adopt again we will definitely choose lifeline again. ️

In 2010 I came to lifeline looking for my new best friend Kika, I had seen her picture on your website and immediately fell in love, I knew as soon as I saw her I wouldn't be leaving that day without her. 3 years later my fiancé and I decided she needed a friend so we got back on your website and found Cairo, again, as soon as we both saw the picture we knew. We came back to the shelter and thank god we were the first ones there so we got first pick, the family that pulled up behind us was also there for Cairo. � We lucked out! He is one of the best dogs I've ever owned, as is she. I've never been happier and I'm happy to say they are healthy, happy, spoiled dogs and I just wanted to say thank you for bringing us together. They light up our life every single day. I have tons of pictures of them on my profile if you ever care to see your more then welcome. Thank you for what you guys do! We've never been happier, keep up the good work and god bless all of you. Thank you. ���

Lifeline puppy rescue is so great!! We arrived at 8 am and were 4th in line and I did get my puppy of choice. I am so happy with my new pup and experience with lifeline! They had so many adorable puppies and it was awesome to see they were almost all adopted. I highly suggest adopting through lifeline.

Our zooey is the most loving and energetic puppy! She has been an amazing addiction to our family! Thank you lifeline for my fur baby!

We have adopted 2 dogs over the years from Lifeline Puppy Rescue and they have both been wonderful! Lifeline Puppy Rescue does a great job helping dogs!

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

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

We got our amazing loveable companions Lulu and Tito from Lifeline. Best dogs ever!!!! Thank you Lifeline.

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!

I adopted my sweet Border collie mix Lola from Lifeline Puppy Rescue in 2001. She lived a long happy 17 years with us and was the best pup ever!

Just got our baby from there yesterday. He's the sweetest little guy ever! We love him so much and are sooo happy we picked lifeline to pick a puppy from. Thank you so much for our new family member.

We LOVE our little puppy, Zeus! We got him right before Christmas. The staff was super helpful and we were able to take our little guy home quickly! He is happy and healthy! I highly recommend Lifeline Puppy Rescue!

Great, no kill organization. They have the process DOWN. Very efficient, and friendly. We’re already in love with our new family member!

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!

I met Doke at Lifeline Puppy Rescue on Easter 2 years ago and he has been my best friend ever since. He goes with me on road trips, on mountain hikes and jogs. I am so happy that I decided to spend Easter morning at Lifeline Puppy Rescue. Everyday has been awesome since.

Got my Thor from them..he is wonderful addition to our small family....thank you.

This place is amazing. Thank you for my baby girl

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).

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.
