Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico

I was looking for a dog for a coworker to adopt. As I was browsing I saw Zeta. I instantly fell in love. I adopted her and she has filled my home and heart with love. She is the smallest of all three of my dogs but she rules. Spoiled rotten but I would not have it any other way. Thank you for bringing Zeta into my life... Love, love, love her... ❤ ❤ ❤

I worked with you on a fundraiser few years back with Avon for Animals online. I am looking forward to doing it again this year at a %20 going to your organization . The work you do makes a difference no matter what breed or size You have such a loyal group that tend to these dogs without pay and only on your own funds. Looking to contribute again this year. Thank You

Lap Dog Rescue helped us find a replacement for our Saint Bernard. Sherman was adopted. We had him for six years when he suddenly went into a health nose dive. We work with our Vets to see if there was anyway to save him. There wasn’t. We realized that our age would not permit another Gentle Giant. We learned about Lap Dog Rescue. We found a mix of Toy Poodle and West Highland Terrier. He won our hearts immediately. He met our one criteria he had to like small kids. He passed with flying colors. We realized he needed a buddy. Lap Dog Rescue came through with a wonderful companion. They are completely bonded. They bring give us love, laughter, and close companionship. We appreciate the fact that Lap Dog Rescue Vets prospective owners. They also do a complete inspection of your home and yard. They also wanted to ensure that the dogs would be able to be around our very young grandchildren. We recommend Lap Dog Rescue to family and friends. Albuquerque is especially Blessed to have them not only for placing rescues but for going in and rescuing them to begin with!

Lap Dog rescue maximizes donations and rescues and neuters countless strays.

My heart broke when I lost my pet . Thanks to Lap Dog Rescue , I found a new sweetie. ❤️

We adopted Ducky (now called Lucky) last February from Lap Dog Rescue. And we're the lucky ones. He's sweet, smart and just a love. Thanks so much, Lap Dog Rescue, for finding Lucky and bringing him into our lives.

We adopted a sweet lik schnauser/scottie mix, lil Fritzy, 3 years ago! What a joy, so after our sweet gorl of 17 years passed-we adopted lil Dori!! She is a smart lil gorl and brongs so mich joy! Thank You Lap Dog Rescue-Kay, Mary and Alma!! You are Angels on earth for these sweet lost pups!! ❤️

We've adopted 3 dogs from Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico. It's a trustworthy, outstanding non profit. The rescued dogs are fostered in homes by volunteers, all shots are up to date, all neutering and spading is done before a family receives the dog. LDRNM is a gift to dogs and the family that adopts them. Give a rescued dog some love and they will return love back to you forever. LDRNM is #1 in my heart.

Best ever rescue. I have adopted 5 dogs from Lap Dog, and refer Lap Dog when someone asks where to get a dog. Very compassionate, and love what they are doing for those that do not have a voice.

I adopted my little Miniature poodle mix from Lap Dog in July 2014. Brian came to the house with Nero to make sure he would have a good and secure home, and Nero has been my almost constant companion since then. We walk twice a day, sleep in the same bed, and share a bond that is heart warming to me. Since I adopted Nero I have donated to Lap Dog Rescue on a regular basis as I know they are a strictly foster organization and need every extra dollar that comes their way. I have such compassion for those who foster the little rescue dogs and am very grateful they rescued Nero and passed him along to me.

Over the past 15 years or so we’ve adopted five rescued dachshunds from Lap Dog Rescue who all became integral members of our family. Each one of these precious little dogs have unique personalities and are simply fountains of love. The real advantage of adopting rescue dogs from LDR is that the foster folks who house them while they await their forever home, socialize them, get to know each dogs quirks, needs and personality, and can help you choose just the right dog for your home. Our LDR rescue posse are a never ending stream of love and endearing entertainment. The first picture is of our remaining four dachshund posse; second picture is of the first two LDR rescues (blue collared one has passed on); and the last picture is of our first two dachshunds, both deceased (not LDR rescues). So, we highly recommend LDR as the source for your next four legged fur baby.

What a wonderful, compassionate, and organized nonprofit. We adopted our beloved dog a year ago and we worked with our pup's foster parents and they were always available and provided support and important information. Lap Dog also provided financial support for neutering through a great Veterinarian clinic nearby. Our experience with Lap Dog was fabulous!

I submitted an application Aug 6 then followed with email and received no response...then also asked via Facebook and was told the application would be reviewed... as of Oct 18 no response

I lost my best friend and happy spirit, Patti, in October 2016. Had the opportunity to meet Wally at an event....love at first sight, I may be his 6th home but I am his forever home, the organization is great and makes good matches!

Best dog rescue ever! My family and I are repeat adopters from LDRNM. They provide the true personal touch in placement. We appreciate all they do in saving these beautiful souls. We are pretty crazy about all our LDRNM kids! Keep up the fantastic work!

I have been fostering for Lap Dog Rescue since June of 2016. I finally feel like I am doing something that is making a difference, with an amazing group of people who define compassion and caring. I am so grateful for their constant support for the fosters and the love they have for the animals. There is almost nothing they won't do to heal a dog, even if it means expensive surgery and an extended stay with the foster. Proud to be part of this group.

I met my adorable little dog at a Lap Dog adoption event last December. She was and is a treasured addition to our family!

I'm a volunteer with Lap Dog Rescue of NM. I'm always amazed at the generosity of time, money and spirit that people bring to this organization. It's hard work, I admit, to help a little rescued dog who has been neglected, abused, thrown away or has lost its home when its owner is no longer able to care for him/her. Our volunteers pitch in - always - when the need arises. This is a wonderful organization that does wonderful work with absolutely no paid staff.

An amazing group of kind and dedicated people!!!! I could not be more proud to be a part of this organization.

I was interested in adopting a pet for my husband. He is a truck driver and could use a companion while working away from home. I filled out their request form and within 24 hours got a NO response. It had two sentences, "The foster mom does not feel that the dog would fit this lifestyle. He needs a yard, a companion and training."

I have adopted dogs from other organizations. I was always contacted with more questions, this allowed them to find the best dog for me and allowed me to react to their concerns. This organization just told me that the dog I had put on the application would not fit. They did not offer substitutions.

I did write back, stating the both my husband and I would exercise the dog 2 hours a day with walks and play, we had both trained dogs in the past for search and rescue and would have no problems teaching this dog and as for a friend, well meet and greets would be all he got.

Never once did they offer alternative dogs. If you don't have a traditional family with a yard. Don't bother applying.

Dear LDR folks,

Yesterday a couple of your members gave a presentation about LDR at the monthly meeting of the Animal Advocate group at my church (Unitarian Universalist). Thank you very much! The presentation was very well received and enjoyed by our group, and I am confident it will result in increased awareness and support for LDR. LDR, you are awesome, and thanks for the good work that you do!

I've been an animal person all my life, then a Vet Tech, then Pet Sitter.
We've always had rescue animals, they are the best...

When I suddenly lost my dog to an unexplained illness I needed a new one STAT to help my medical issues, just having a dog next to me helped more than I really knew.

Knowing dogs like I do I didn't want just any rescue this time around, I wanted one that had a story and who's human helpers knew and and had been vetted.

Lap Dog Rescue of NM is to date the only rescue I personally know of who tests for heartworm, does fecal testing, even erlichia testing, along with spay/neuter, and routine vaccinations before they put them up for adoption.

Then they add is socializing and doggy door training to boot, sometimes more.

I got a great dog that everyone knew of and loved.

She fits in with me and my family perfectly.

I was so happy with the entire situation, I'm now volunteering for them, it's an inspiring group of people!!!

I am proud and happy to have as part of my family two little dogs from LDRNM. I know first-hand just how special the volunteers are. They will eagerly go the extra mile--and much more--to rescue, foster, socialize and place dogs in forever homes. One of my dogs was found in 2011 running wild with a gang of much bigger dogs, while the other came from a notorious puppy mill in 2009. I am incredibly grateful to LDRNM for Cisco (FKA Cecil the Diesel) and Chaco (FKA Special Eddie), who bring joy into my life every day.

When my uncle passed away suddenly, his "girlfriend" was on her way to taking his little dog, Max, to the shelter, just to be rid of him. I was able to convince her to take him to Lap Dog Rescue, instead. They took Max in without hesitation. He was adopted almost immediately and has a new forever home with folks who love him! Lap Dog Rescue is a truly wonderful organization and I have recommended them to many people who are looking for a small dog.

We love Lap Dog Rescue! They always have the most adorable dogs - it is impossible not to want to adopt them all! We have adopted two wonderful pups from them. The fosters do a great job finding the right families for these dogs. Keep up the great work, Lap Dog!

Just over a year ago, we adopted two little girls, Jessie and Poppy, from Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico. The process was relatively quick and easy (they brought the dogs by our house to meet our other dog) and they have been a wonderful addition to our family!

The volunteers at Lap Dog Rescue are an amazing group of people who dedicate their time to rescuing and rehoming dogs in New Mexico. They are amazing in their dedication and care of the animals making sure they are placed in homes where they will have a forever family. I have adopted three dogs from this organization. I can't say enough about how wonderful their work is. Bless them all. It's all about the dogs.
