I gave this organization a puppy when I gave her to them Brian said they would keep me updated. When I expressed my concerns on their FB page he blocks and removes me from the page and then makes a post about it afterwards instead of talking to me he instantly blocked me and never updated me about her. Such a shameful way to run a non profit organization with no communication the only time I received any communication was to get the puppy from me.

Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico goes above and beyond caring for and helping homeless and unloved dogs find owners who will love and care for them responsibly. This rescue is needed and does a wonderful job of providing for these pups, notifying people of pups available and rehoming them.

I’ve been following and donating to Lap Dog Rescue for years and have seen them endlessly work at getting dogs rescued. They do an amazing job promoting, advocating and informing people about adoption. Their commitment is inspiring!

Ever since we adopted our dog 8 years ago we have seen Lapdog Rescue find homes for thousands of small dogs and puppies (even those who won't be lap sized), get emergency medical help for strays, and sponsor spay and neuter clinics. I have seen them rehome dogs when elderly people can no longer care for them. Lapdog Rescue builds a community of caring and I am a proud dog parent and contributor to them.

Seven years ago we adopted our dog Iko from Lap Dog Rescue. He was a little bit bigger then a regular lapdog but they wouldn't leave this sickly puppy behind. He has grown into the joy of our home. Over the years I have watched Lap Dog Rescue save, nurse to health, and find good homes for hundreds of dogs. They are supporting animals in need in our community and organizations in communities around New Mexico. They are truly a great nonprofit.

Works and goes extra mile not only to get pups adopted but, picked up, loved, feed and sheltered.

I love this rescue organization. They do a wonderful job rehabbing (is that a word?) all kinds of small breeds that have been abandoned or surrendered and they are diligent and thorough in vetting applicants to be sure the furbabies are going to good homes. They treat each dog like it is the only one they have to take care of. They make a huge difference in our community not only with placing dogs but with educating the public through adoption events and social media. They rock!

On 11/14/15 we adopted the dearest, most wonderful little dog from Lap Dog Rescue.

His foster caregiver was thoughtful, candid and helped save our Walter from a horrible situation. She was the human bridge between a miserable life and the life he deserved.

We have become regular donors and loyal supporters of the organization; and we think of them every time we pet our doggie.

Love Lapdog Rescue so much that we donate $$ monthly through my husband's work/United Way account. Their FaceBook updates are awesome and heartwarming each time a dog has been photographed with their new family!

Lap Dog Rescue provides a deeply needed service to communities in New Mexico. Their dedicated team of volunteers (vets, groomers, foster families, and more) makes a huge difference in the lives of the dogs they rescue and foster. They enable adopting families to receive beautiful and loving pets. Brian, the leading force behind Lap Dog Rescue, is a passionate and devoted helper for all kinds of big and little dogs.

I am a proud adopter of my dog, Faith, who just turned a happy and healthy year old! I found adopting through them to be such a wonderful experience and have plans on doing it again. As a donor, I know that my money is going to a very reputable organization that is never frivolous in its spending. Plus the work they do with the dogs in nothing short of amazing! Lap Dog restores your faith in humanity in the way they help all dogs. Keep the faith Lap Dog you're doing a great job!

We adopted our two great dogs from Lap Dog Rescue. The process they use to screen potential furever homes is comprehensive. From the application to the home visit, they ensure that it is a great match. The fosters love and care for your dog and are able to give valuable information about their foster pups. Our foster doubles as a groomer and boarder. When we left on vacation, we boarded our first dog there. She sent us pics of our dog and his new best friend. When we got home, we had two dogs. All the volunteers I've encountered from LDRNM are dedicated and caring. I have recommended them to several friends that are equally as enthusiastic about LDRNM. They partner with shelters around the state to save as many dogs as possible.
