Meet Bailey — A Gentle, Loving Tibetan Terrier Seeking Her Perfect Adults-Only Home

Bailey is a stunning, petite tri-color Tibetan Terrier with soulful eyes, soft fur, and the most heart-melting way of showing affection: when she sees someone she loves, her whole backside does an adorable circular tail-wag dance. She’s incredibly sweet, deeply loving, and happiest when she can curl up right next to you — on the couch, in your lap, or sleeping peacefully at the foot of your bed. She is a calm, gentle companion who wants nothing more than to be near her person. Her love language is roast chicken. If you’ve been hoping for a dog who makes your home feel warm, cozy, and full of quiet companionship, Bailey may be your girl. Bailey is deeply loved by her current family and has no history of trauma or prior homes. This decision is being made with tremendous care and heartbreak, solely because Bailey is not suited for a home with children. She is not aggressive — not even a little. She simply becomes nervous and cowers away, and the busy environment that comes with young children is overwhelming for her. Her family wants her to find the peaceful, steady, adults-only home where she will feel truly safe, relaxed, and happy every day.

Ideal Home

Bailey thrives with adults who are home often and enjoy having a dog nearby. Her perfect family will be adults-only, a household where someone works from home or is around most of the day (taking her to work every day may be a viable option as well), people who want a cuddle-oriented, calm, affectionate companion, a home that is ok with an un-crated dog, and a family committed to feeding only her GI-appropriate food, taking her to get groomed regularly, and maintaining her routine. She is friendly and appropriate with other dogs, and does fine with friendly, non-aggressive dogs (and, we assume, cats).

Ongoing Health

Bailey is healthy overall but sensitive to dietary changes — if she eats foods outside her normal diet, she can develop GI upset. Her baseline costs are estimated as follows: HealthyPaws health insurance - $116/month, Grooming - $80/month, Specialty GI-sensitive Food - $45/month, Preventative meds (flea/heartworm/etc.) - $30/month, Budget for vet care (includes prescriptions, vaccines, tests) - $500/year. Total = $3,872 annual baseline cost. Her current family is willing to assist financially if unexpected medical costs arise beyond the $4,000 annual budget.

Training & Support

Bailey is house-trained — as long as she is given a chance to go out every ~4-6 hours during the day, she does great. She enjoys a 15–40 minute walk several times a week and walks well on leash. She adores hanging out in an armchair watching the world through the window. She sleeps peacefully at the foot of your bed all night. She is a phenomenal car-traveller, and would be happy to accompany you on road trips. Bailey is a “shadow dog” in the most loving way — never intrusive, always gentle, always ready to snuggle.
