Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico was granted Federal 501c3 status ( a non-profit charitable organization) in January, 2001. Donations of money and other items are tax deductible. We are fortunate to be included in the United Way campaign. We were also designated as a Great Non-Profit Organization for 2013 through 2020 by Greatnonprofits.org. We are also considered one of top five Best Places to Adopt

a Pet by the readers of Albuquerque The Magazine for 2014 and 2020. We can always use towels (both paper and cloth), blankets, pet bedding, collars, leashes, sweaters, bowls, cleaning supplies, wee pads, old ace bandages, and e-collars. We recycle your unwanted dog houses and fencing to folks who need them. Many of our animals come to us in need of various types of veterinary services. We always have a few geriatric pets who require heart, thyroid, and other medications. Donations to our medical funds would be very much appreciated. Donations can be sent to us at Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico, PO Box 1316, Tijeras, NM 87059 or on our website through JustGive or PayPal.

🐾 We're Still Collecting Pet Food for Local Shelters! 🐾

Our "Fill the Bowls, Feed the Souls" Community Pet Food Drive is still underway, and we need your help!

Smaller rural shelters and animal control facilities across New Mexico are facing rising costs, overcrowding, and fewer donations. Every bag, can, or dollar donated helps provide meals for animals waiting for homes and care.

💙 Benefiting:
• Town of Edgewood Animal Control
• Moriarty Animal Control
• Torrance County Animal Control

📍 Drop Off Donations At:
🐾 Simply Diego's Pet Supplies – Albuquerque
🐾 Western Trails Veterinary Hospital – Edgewood

💻 Prefer to donate online?
You can purchase food through our online drive and 100% of the proceeds will go toward food for these shelters.

No donation is too small—every bag, every can, and every dollar helps fill bowls and support animals in need.

Please share this post and help us spread the word! Together, we can make sure no shelter pet goes hungry. ❤️🐶🐱

Meet Lego, a 6-month-old Terrier mix with a big personality and plenty of puppy energy. 🐾

Our best guess is Border Terrier and Cairn Terrier mix, but whatever his mix may be, the result is pure fun. Lego loves to play hard, make friends, and join in on whatever adventure is happening next. He loves people, enjoys other dogs, and is happy to play with anyone who is ready to have a good time.

After playtime, Lego has a sweet snuggly side too. He enjoys cuddling and likes sleeping next to his person at night. Stairs and ramps are no problem for this little guy, and he is continuing to work on the doggie door and potty training.

Lego would do best with active adopters who can keep up with his playful spirit. Another friendly dog to romp with would be a great fit for him.

Lego is neutered and ready for his new home. His adoption fee is $275.00.

Meet Foxxy, a clever, loyal, and uniquely charming little companion. 🐾

True to her name, Foxxy is a stunning girl with a reddish-gold coat, perfectly perky ears, an adorable fluffy curled tail, and a sweet, intelligent expression that makes her impossible not to notice.

Foxxy is thoughtful and observant, and she takes her time getting to know new people. She is looking for a calm, patient family who understands that trust is something to be earned gently. Give her the time and space she needs to feel safe, and the reward is something truly special.

Once Foxxy bonds with you, she loves with her whole heart. She becomes a deeply devoted, loyal, and protective companion who wants to be near her people and look out for them. She is small enough to be a wonderful cuddle buddy, but sturdy enough to enjoy daily strolls and yard time.

If you have a patient heart and a peaceful home, Foxxy is ready to meet the person who will see the treasure she truly is. Adoption fee is $225.00.

Meet Rascal, a 2-year-old, 9-pound Yorkie with a social little spirit and lots of love to give. 🐾

Rascal is friendly, affectionate, and loves being around his people. He also does great with dogs of all sizes and cats, making him a wonderful fit for a home with other friendly pets.

This sweet boy is crate trained and does well on leash. He is not yet house trained, so he will need patience, consistency, and routine as he continues learning. Rascal is also a very social dog and may become vocal when he is left alone, so he would do best with someone who is home often.

A home with another friendly little dog would be ideal for Rascal. He enjoys companionship, attention, and being part of the action. If you are looking for a loving little shadow with a big personality, Rascal may be your perfect match.

Rascal’s adoption fee is $225.00.

Meet Rosita aka Rosie, a tiny 10-year-old Chihuahua with a tender heart tucked inside a 3.7-pound package. 🐾

Rosie is a very shy little girl who is learning to trust, build confidence, and feel safe and loved. She needs a patient, gentle home that understands she will need time, reassurance, and routine as she continues to blossom.

Rosie enjoys being held, relaxing in her cozy dog bed, and basking in the sunshine. Toys and playtime are not really her thing, but once she trusts you, she will happily roll over for belly rubs and come to sit in your lap. She gets along with the dogs in her foster home, though because of her tiny size, she must be protected from rough play or accidental injury.

Rosie is still working on potty training and will do best with a consistent routine. She may howl when she needs reassurance, wants to come inside, needs to go out, or is feeling unsure. At night, she may need a gentle touch or a potty break to settle back down.

Because Rosie is so small, a home with no small children is a must. Cats are unknown.

Rosie is a sweet little soul looking for someone who will celebrate quiet progress, offer steady love, and give her the soft, safe home she deserves.

Rosie is sponsored by Perfection Honda.

Meet Pippa Piper, a super sweet 2-year-old, 9-pound female Poodle mix with a tender heart and so much love to give. 🐾

Pippa Piper loves every person she meets and does well with mellow dogs and cats. She is gentle, affectionate, and smart, but also very sensitive. Her past appears to have been difficult, so she is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, understood, and cherished.

This sweet girl would do best with patient adopters and another gentle small dog to help her feel secure. She does great on leash, is crate trained, and while she is not yet house trained, she is bright and should learn with consistency, kindness, and routine.

Pippa Piper is ready for a soft landing and a family who will show her that life can be safe, kind, and full of love.

Pippa Piper’s adoption fee is $225.00.
