The Fabulous Life of Skye and Cleo

Three years ago we were born into this world and through no fault of our own we were born deaf & blind. We were born deaf & blind because an irresponsible backyard breeder used their 2 harlequins to produce a litter of puppies and this caused a genetic defect called the double merle gene. Puppies with the double-merle gene are predominately white and have a higher chance of being born deaf and wit

h eye defects. We were luckier than most double-merle puppies because we were given the chance to live, unlike other puppies born this way. We were adopted to a family for the first year of our lives but they were not prepared to care for two Great Dane puppies. When we were 1 our family surrendered us into rescue; unfortunately our first rescue was not able to find us foster homes and we lived in a kennel.
