Who wouldn't love a 'pug' with a MUG?

Who wouldn't love a 'pug' with a MUG?

Pet Adoptions of Cuero is looking for some new pet parents for two small sized canines - they would be perfect for an apartment, a small cottage home or even a camper. These two little dogs weigh only 10 pounds each, are fully grown, neutered/ spayed and microchipped. They have been piddle pad trained but also like to do potty time outdoors. They are playful, loving, cuddle bugs and know how to entertain themselves with a plush toy or chewie. But most of all they are great LAP-nappers. Just about every senior we know indulges in a little mid afternoon sleepy time - so why do it alone? Come meet PUGSLY and PORTIA and share that comfy recliner, sofa, or easy chair with your new best friend and fur baby companion. PUGSLY's coat is a soft reddish- brown with a mask like mug face. PORTIA has an all over brindle coat and her mug face features an underbite so cute! They are only 2 of the 38 homeless canines currently at Pet Adoptions of Cuero -and PAOC is inviting everyone to come see them all. Human contact gives them HOPE for a future adoption and senior or family to love. Open every day of the year from 8 am till noon at 407 US Highway 183 South, Cuero 361-243-8550. Remember at PAOC you can't buy LOVE - but you can ADOPT it! 02/19/2025 04:38 AM
