Lap Dog Rescue of New Mexico

📍 Tijeras and New Mexico foster network

This foster-based rescue focuses on small companion dogs. Its process begins with a complete application, screens for fit rather than submission order, and may include references and a home visit for finalists.

Before applying: It is not poodle-specific and does not guarantee a poodle listing. Search its current dogs and apply only when the rescue’s stated fit works for your household.
