If dogs could talk

We all would love it if they could and we are sure they would have a lot to say. In the meantime here's some comments some of the canines at Pet Adoptions of Cuero spoke up about recently: 'Hi I'm NAPOLEON - a 12 pound Pomeranian mix ready for a family looking for a small dog like me. I am potty trained - just be sure to let me out a couple of times a day and if you have some kids I can play with - let's GO! But I also like seniors - a lady or gent with a warm lap would be great - come meet me soon at PAOC'. 01/22/2025 08:55 PM

Knights of Columbus donate wheelchairs

Cuero Knights of Columbus Council 1682 contributed three wheelchairs, and Yorktown Council 2480 contributed one wheelchair, to Holy Family Hospital in the Catholic Diocese of Sunyani, Ghana, Africa. The Knights also contributed the cost of shipping to get the wheelchairs delivered. These chairs are made possible through the American Wheelchair Mission, a non-profit organization with the goal to deliver wheelchairs to the physically disabled throughout the world. Father Richard Bediako and Father Paul Otchere (pictured here) are both from the Diocese of Sunyani, Ghana and are currently Associate Pastors serving the Catholic Community of Cuero. Father Richard said, “the wheelchair mission is absolutely a fantastic project helping our hospital in Ghana, as they are being used to carry patients to various places in the hospital”. 11/20/2024 09:02 PM

Puppy Love, not just for kids

The crew at Pet Adoptions of Cuero had a fun afternoon recently sharing some puppy love with several of the residents at Cuero Nursing and Rehab Center. PAOC packed up three special pups for this event. And it was a pass, share, hug, cuddle and snuggle time for the fur babies. They loved getting all the attention and human contact with so many of the residents. The PAOC staff also loved hearing endearing stories some of the residents shared about their former pets. Many of them still had pictures galore to show on their cell phones of their former 'Fido' or 'Fluffy.' Thanks to Jennifer Wilson, activities director, for the invitation to this delightful pet related afternoon. 11/13/2024 04:15 AM
