My husband and I got our puppy at Lifeline almost 3 years ago and he is just the best dog we could have asked for. We now have a 2 year old and he has grown up with her and is such a protector of her. Best dogs! He is a Rottweiler/German Shephard mix and is full of energy. I wish there was a way to find his siblings he was with to see how they grew up. I would go back there in a minute to get another puppy!! Very recommended!

He still gets excites over our kitties but we are making process. We still jave alot of training to go but hes is very loving and is making a food addition to our family. Thank you so much!! -the Greaneys

Let me start by saying I’m not an affiliate of this organization. My husband and I found out about it on facebook and decided to go to the adoption event today, 2/3/18. I had read the yelp and Facebook reviews, many of which were negative, and was nervous about the condition of the puppies and the care they would be in. I’m happy to say we just adopted a beautiful little heeler mix and our experience could not have been better. This volunteer run shelter is truly amazing. There were cars lined up half a mile down the road before the event even started and the volunteers handled all of the people in a fair and organized manner. Each person was given a number in order of where their car was parked in the line and those numbers were used to determine browsing groups and puppy preference (SO GET THERE AT LEAST AN HOUR EARLY!). The staff takes great precautions to keep the puppies healthy. They consistently use hand sanitizer between handling puppies, do not allow adopters to touch puppy to puppy without hand sanitizer, and separate the puppies by litter so that any disease that could potentially break out is contained. Once you have chosen your puppy they give a very informative overview of their policies, the adoption process, return policy, puppy care, microchip, etc. anything you need to know is in that orientation, nd everything in their policies is more than fair. This organization is great at what they do and really have it together. I’m so impressed at how smoothly the adoption went for us even with so many people there. I would recommend Lifeline to any friend ready to assume the role of a rescue puppy parent. We are loving our sweet little girl!

We adopted our sweet Lilly from Lifeline! She is so healthy, feisty and an awesome joy to us. We have had her nearly a year now.

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.
