Jones and Heather are both purebred red/sable colored Tibetan Terriers. The lucky pair were rescued/released from a commercial breeder who apparently decided they weren't making enough money for them. It's most likely due to the fact that this breed is relatively uncommon to the general public. They are both young adults; the male named Jones is 20 pounds and will turn 2 years old in August. The female named Heather, who is on the smaller side, just celebrated her birthday turning 3 years old this past June 4th. Being that the two haven't lived a normal life—coming from a kennel —they should go only to a home that is patient and willing to give them time to settle in. Although they already have made great progress and seem to relish the attention and care they are now receiving. We are NOT requiring that they be placed together as they will feed off each other's fears, but do prefer that they each go into a home with an existing dog—as it makes it easier for them to follow the lead of an established dog within the household.

Jones (left) is much more outgoing, jumping in his foster mom's lap, licking her face, and readily comes when called. We have started clicker training with him. Jones is in excellent health. He sleeps quietly at night in his crate in his foster mom's room, and he does not soil in his crate.

Heather (right) now weighs about 15 pounds and is at her ideal weight. She is working very hard at overcoming her shyness, sitting on the sofa with her foster mom, and relaxing enough to nap. She walks on a leash willingly at times, but still needs lots of coaxing and encouragement. Heather is in excellent health. She sleeps quietly at night in her crate in her foster mom's room, and she does not soil in her crate.
