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
