The Tibetan Terrier Health and Welfare Foundation (TTHWF) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization established in 2007 under the auspices of the Tibetan Terrier Club of America (TTCA) to ensure a healthy future for the breed.

Through the support of generous donors, TTHWF funds medical and genetic investigations conducted by universities, veterinary schools and other institutions involved in canine research. The focus of these investigations is diseases that affect Tibetan Terriers, but the Foundation’s work benefits many other breeds. In addition, the Foundation provides a rescue fund for the welfare of the Tibetan Terrier breed to support the rescue activities of the TTCA. The Foundation will also provide information relating to health problems and genetics distinctive to Tibetan Terriers to be made available to breeders and their veterinarians.
