Keller’s Cause will be doing demonstrations with the dogs they rescue—Double Merles— in the grassy area next to the Civic Club at noon and 4 p.m. Don’t miss these special performances!
Keller's Cause is a 501c3 non-profit organization that was founded in September of 2015, in the name of Double Merles. These wonderful dogs are often dumped or killed. Keller’s Cause wants to teach the world about them. They are preventable and people need to know this. No dog should be purposely brought into the world with disabilities.
A Double Merle is produced when two merle-patterned dogs are bred together. When this breeding occurs, each puppy in the litter has a 25% chance of being a Double Merle. Double Merles are often faced with vision and hearing deficiencies, up to complete deafness and blindness. This is 100% preventable through responsible breeding. Keller’s Cause strives to teach people about this and prevent dogs from being born blind or deaf.
