Two 'inseparable' deaf dogs at Harrogate RSPCA are learning a new skill in a bid to find their forever home.
Blossom and Bluebell, who are both border collie crossbreeds, are being taught sign language by staff after being rescued from “horrendous” conditions.
The pair are around 3-years-old and described as “the sweetest girls who are very much bonded with each other”.
The Harrogate and York branch of the RSPCA are looking for a family that will take both of them together.
A spokesperson said:
“Bluebell and Blossom are happy, loving and extremely playful dogs who absolutely love a good rough and tumble with each other.
“Bluebell is very nervous when meeting new people and adjusting to new situations and surroundings, adopters will need to be very patient with them as to not overwhelm them when settling in.
“Adopters will need to be considerate and consistent, this making it helpful for them to predict what is about to happen.”
They added:
“Deaf dogs can be easily startled so a predictable lifestyle will help them immensely.
“Adopting deaf dogs can be hugely rewarding, and these two really will make wonderful additions to the family.”
