Tibetan Terrier Association of America, Inc

Dog rescue in Magnolia, TX

The Tibetan Terrier Association of America (TTAA) is a small group of people whose focus is on the companionship and versatility of the Tibetan Terrier. While TTAA members continue to enjoy showing at AKC sanctioned events through dual registration (AKC and UKC) and will continue to do so, they now have additional opportunities for education, conformation, and performance events. “As a departure from registries that place emphasis on a dog’s looks, UKC events are designed for dogs that look and perform equally well" (UKC website, 2012). We embrace the UKC's "Total Dog" philosophy and practice good sportsmanship both in and out of the ring.

We are proactive in our commitment to improving genetic health and funding research. We have a proven track record of asking questions relating to Tibetan Terrier genetic variations whether genotypic and phenotypic; having already backed research for the smooth coat mutation. Less than a year after asking the question, a test for the mutation in TTs is available through VetGen. We have also partner with the University of Minnesota in the hope that we will be able to understand more about one of the most insidious diseases in this breed, lymphoma.

Our Rescue Committee members have been actively rescuing Tibetan Terriers and TT mixes for 5 years, rehabilitating and successfully rehoming all animals. We will continue to be committed to this effort, rescuing without regard to pedigree status. We will never turn away a dog because it doesn't have all the breed characteristics. Also of importance is a commitment to those who would like to bring a TTAA Rescue into their home. Once we receive your application, we will contact you by email and let you know that you are on our list. Forever homes are the most important part of our Rescue work and we do not take your interest lightly.
For our companion TTAA members, our mission is to provide you with the most comprehensive and up to date breed-specific research, training and behavior, and general knowledge articles available. We are currently populating our database with references on a variety of topics. We encourage you to contact your Breeder for questions specific to your dog or your dog's pedigree. If you cannot find an answer to your question, you may simply fill out the Contact Us form in the menu to the right. We will do our best to get your questioned answered by the most appropriate and knowledgeable individual(s).

Rescue FAQs

The Tibetan Terrier Association of America established its own rescue program in 2012 for the primary purpose of rescuing Tibetan Terriers at risk in shelters, other rescue organizations or from private owners no longer able to keep their dogs.

TTAA Rescue constantly strives to involve its member breeders, even those that are not active Rescue volunteers. The success of this program relies on our member breeders to continue prudent breeding and selling practices. As a courtesy, member breeders are generally notified if a dog of theirs is in need, solely for the purpose of allowing them to assist in the rehoming of said dog and/or to take full responsibility for the dog's welfare.

Although we are focused on the rescue of purebred Tibetan Terriers, we will never knowingly allow any Tibetan Terrier mix to remain in a shelter or pound facility. If our assistance in rescue is requested, we will take action. Pedigree status can be determined by genetic testing once the dog is safe.

Any dog that comes into a foster home receives necessary veterinary care, temperament evaluation, and whatever rehabilitation may be needed before being placed. Foster care duration can be from a minimum of two weeks to several months.

Veterinary care includes a thorough exam, rabies and DHPP vaccinations, fecal and heartworm testing, and spaying/neutering as appropriate. All dogs entered in to the rescue program will be microchipped.

We never rehome dogs for the purposes of or potential for breeding nor do we resell any dog no matter what its pedigree. If you are interested in a dog, you must fill out an application form. After the form is received and evaluated, you will be eligible for an adoption. An interview will be conducted before or when we actually have suitable dog for you. If you have received no feedback from TTAA Rescue after an application or inquiry, please email to make sure it was received.

Additional adoption info

After a successful interview, we then will check references and arrange for a home visit with as many family members present as possible. If the applicant passes this screening, then arrangements for getting the dog will be made.

An adoption contract must be signed prior to release of the dog. To help defray the costs of rescue dog care and to support the rescue program, the following fees apply:

Up to 18 months: $400
18 months to 8 years: $350
8 years and up: $200
12+ years or special needs dogs (deaf, blind, serious medical problem) a donation of $150 is suggested

Rescue fees do not cover the expenses incurred by Rescue for the dog you adopt; rather they help to defray the expenses of the next Rescue we bring in. While we never recoup the money we spend on nursing the dogs back to health, we do need to keep replenishing our Rescue fund in order to continue to rescue other Tibetan Terriers in need. Our funding consists entirely of donations for Tibetan Terrier enthusiasts and fund raising events.
Although we will assist in setting up transportation of the Rescue to the applicant, any costs incurred for transportation are the responsibility of the applicant.
