In March 2022, we adopted Helen who was a 3 month, 4.5 lb Rat Terrier rescue. She is deaf and blind due to being a Double Merle. A Double Merle (Homozygous Merle) is the common term for a dog with two copies of the Merle gene. Double merles, despite their deficiencies, are generally quite healthy dogs capable of living long, otherwise normal lives. And they are no more aggressive, unpredictable or untrainable than hearing and sighted dogs. However, special needs dogs DO take more time and patience and that is something we can do. Although, she is really no more work than our others! 🤣
Her previous owners were so nice and were so very sad to let her go. She has adjusted so well to our house and has become part of the pack! She uses the potty outside. She knows her way around the house inside and out! She loves car rides, visits to various parks and stores. She becomes very popular where ever she goes! Even the beach! She is very spoiled! We just love her soooooo much!!
