Episode Details

Meet Patch, a deaf French bulldog with a merle coat, rescued from harmful breeding practices and now seeking a patient, loving home. Despite his hearing loss, Patch responds to light and movement, making him a candidate for learning sign language. His story highlights the dangers of breeding for extreme looks — merle coats, smooshed faces, bulging eyes — that often lead to deafness, blindness, and health issues. The RSPCA is advocating for responsible breeding and urging adopters to choose animals with moderate, healthy traits. Patch, who’s shy but affectionate, thrives with human companionship and would do best with older kids and a calm female dog. He’s ready for a forever home where he can finally feel safe and loved.
