My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Little Debbie (aka Sugar) looks just like a swiss roll! IYKYK. Once warmed up to you, she is your BEST FRIEND; very loyal, playful, and protective. 



Little Debbie will need a patient home and adopters to help her continue learning about home life and understanding her breed characteristics. She's learning every day that normal household sounds and activities are nothing to be afraid of and making great progress. She is a homebody - very comfortable (and silly!) at home and in her safe places. She enjoys her walks in familiar spots and often needs time to adjust to a new walking route or encountering new things on a normal route. 



She enjoys her stuffed animals, kong with peanut butter, fluffy bed, and chew toys. She gets evening zoomies, is a loving greeter when you return home, and enjoys going on car rides. 



Ideal adopter: Tibetan Terrier people will love a clever, independently minded dog and have some experience of the more independent pastoral types, or watchdog types. You should also enjoy grooming as Tibetan Terriers do need lots of coat care and their coat is not suited to being left ungroomed between professional groomer visits. Adopters should be prepared to socialize extremely well and keep up the training, or this breed can go self-employed, which generally involves barking, and climbing up onto high surfaces, or indeed, both! 



She has strong Tibetan Terrier traits - PLEASE RESEARCH THIS BREED if you are not familiar with them. 




  • Could have issues with unknown dogs but gets along with known dogs

  • Gets along with other pets with training

  • May need additional supervision to live with young children

  • Chatty and vocal - likely to suffer from separation anxiety as they do not like to be left alone

  • Barks and alerts to visitors/anything unusual

  • Positive, patient training and regular exercise are recommended

  • The breed’s profuse, thick coat requires weekly grooming



Her current environment: family home with a teenage child, two (2) large dogs, and four (4) elderly cats. While she does okay with other pets, she would prefer to be an only pet.



Little Debbie has the cutest personality once she knows you and feels comfortable in her sourroundings. She brings endless joy to her foster family who have witnessed her progress to a playful, loyal, and curious pup.

More about this rescue

Mother Gaia Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, licensed, foster and volunteer-based rescue for pets in need of new homes. Our mission is to rescue animals in Colorado shelters and place into foster homes where they can receive medical care, training, and love until they’re ready to go into their forever home – many of which come from areas with overpopulation and high euthanasia rates.
