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.

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

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.

Amazing rescue that truly cares about the puppies as well as controlling the pet population so we can avoid unnecessary deaths for these amazing animals/friends/family members!

We got our Blue Heeler mix at Lifeline four years ago and she has been the best dog I have ever owned. I always said I’d go back there when we were ready for another. I knew Lifeline’s popularity had grown since I had been there, and prepared to get there early. We still only managed about 20 minutes early Saturday morning but were still 14th in line. The owner explained how things worked, let the super early arrival get first pick, then 2-10 got to browse puppies, then about 5 minutes later the rest of us were able to browse. It was fair, not chaotic... the volunteers were friendly. Their class is important because people need to understand what they are in for. The owner was around, chatting with everyone. It’s clear he loves his dogs and what he does. I saw some negative reviews before I went back last weekend, and I wanted to come in here to say that if you listen to how they do things, about what they expect, and go in to adopt a new family member, it will be an amazing experience. Our new pup is so sweet, and fits in perfectly with my family. I will always support Lifeline. <3

I adopted my “puppy” from lifeline over 16 years ago. It was the best decision I have ever made! Thanks Lifeline for helping me find a family member who is still happy and enjoying life!

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.
