The Association operates a Rescue service for Tibetan Spaniels requiring new homes. It is our policy to always let the breeder know when one of their dogs requires re-homing – in this way we aim to encourage responsible breeding.
The Association’s Rescue is coordinated by Bridget Croucher (01792 470417). Wherever possible we endeavour to send the animal direct to it’s new home rather than provide temporary care as Tibetans are sensitive to change. Remember these dogs come without pedigree and are not suitable for breeding. Rescue is not a cheap way of acquiring a Tibetan Spaniel.
If you have a Tibetan Spaniel that requires help please contact Bridget immediately. Sometimes advice can be given that will help overcome the situation and allow the Tibetan to remain in it’s current home. All information will remain strictly confidential.
Rescue dogs are often older and will need special care and attention. Some may need extra veterinary care and it is vitally important when taking on a rescue to do so for the animal’s life. Remember it has been let down once, don’t do it again.
Urgent Update - 19th June 2024
We have been involved in re-homing these two dogs before, but unfortunately they need help again. Please follow the link to the re-homing centre below, they are located in Berkshire, Southern UK. Please contact the re-homing centre directly, NOT the TSA, thank you.

Tweak and Poppy breed rescue

"Meet Tweak (& Poppy)!
Hello there! My name is Tweak, and I am on home direct with my bestie, Poppy. We are Tibetan Spaniels, and both approximately 12 years old, looking for a new home together! Some of you eagle-eyed supporters may recognise us as we came to the centre last year and have since been living the most wonderful life. Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, our owner can no longer give us all the time we deserve so have made the hard decision to help us find a home where they know we will be spoilt rotten!
We are very close and enjoy a good snooze together on our big comfy bed. And despite being a little shy to start with, we both really love spending time with humans and are very friendly with strangers we meet on our walks!
We can still be a little bit shy, but we love being out and about and exploring all over the place! I get SO excited when my lead is on and I’m ready to go!! Poppy takes a little more convincing – don’t tell her I told you, but she LOVES her walks just as much as I do. We are gradually learning some training - so long as it involves lots of tasty treats... whoever said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks had obviously never heard of chicken! It would be SO great if our new humans would continue to work on this with us – and the chicken is definitely a non-negotiable!
We haven’t really liked sharing our space or meeting with other dogs before and really only have eyes for each other, so we’d prefer to be the only dogs in our new home. We have lived with cats before, so we wouldn’t mind too much living with one of those again. We’ve never lived with any tiny humans but have met them on walks and do rather enjoy a fuss from them, but preferably we would be best suited to a home where the children are a bit older and understanding of giving us our space.
We’re looking for a peaceful retirement home together, where the humans will be very patient and understanding and allow us to settle at our own pace. We can’t wait to find the right family to shower us with all the love – could that be you?"
Older Dogs
Older dogs are sometimes available having been kept for showing and then either not making the grade or simply disliking the show ring. Information can be obtained from Bridget Croucher or any other club secretary listed on our breed clubs page.
