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.

Before submitting a Lap Dog application

Lap Dog’s process page, checked October 8, 2026, says it does not accept applications for dogs intended as gifts. Receiving an application does not guarantee a placement. Read the current process and application for any changed terms before you submit.

For either route, write down the dog profile, household requirements, application link, meeting arrangements, and questions about records and support. Leave an item blank when the organization has not confirmed it.

Prepare before applying

  • Search each organization’s current dog list; poodle availability changes.
  • Read the individual profile and confirm household, travel, meeting, and fee requirements before applying.
  • Use only the organization’s current application and contact information.
