Stricter guidelines for spay, neuter program enacted

The Cuero City Council implemented stricter guidelines to minimize the abuse of its Spay and Neuter Voucher Program at its regular meeting on November 12.

Approximately nine years ago, this program was established to allow residents of Cuero, who own dogs or cats, to request a voucher from the city for spaying or neutering their pets. Unfortunately, some individuals have exploited the program.

“Residents in towns that have friends and families that live in oth- er towns use vouchers. The program is supposed to be for Cuero residents,” Finance Director Connie Hawes said.
