Still 'SNOW-ing' at Pet Adoptions of Cuero

Still 'SNOW-ing' at Pet Adoptions of Cuero

It sure was fun to see snow in parts of Dewitt County last week, and it was also amazing that a new canine coincidentally arrived at Pet Adoptions of Cuero. This beauty looked like 'snow,' she was fluffy like 'snow,' and her microchipped registered name just happens to be SNOW! But there is nothing cold about this SNOW. She is a 1 year old pure white husky mix, up to date on shots, spayed and has had some training. But we do know if you are feeling the freezing temps in the area, she would be the perfect cuddle snow bunny. This is one SNOW that will melt your heart. 01/28/2025 12:40 PM
