Visit from Sunday School kids
Pet Adoptions of Cuero had a fun afternoon recently when the Sunday School kids from First Presbyterian Church of Yorktown came by the shelter to check out all the homeless animals and give them some love and attention. And making it an extra special visit, they brought along all kinds of donations. With so many cats and kittens in residence at the shelter right now, the staff was so happy to receive lots of cat themed products, kitten food, cat sand and treats. Thank you to this enthusiastic group for making it a win-win day for all the felines and canines too.
Feed the Shelters Grant
Pet Adoptions of Cuero was just awarded a “Feed the Shelters” grant from the Bissell Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell. We were able to purchase a bounty of much needed pet food and cat food that will really make a difference in feeding our current roster of 50 dogs and cats. Being a small town non profit 501c3 rescue and shelter this was such an honor as usually grants are first awarded to the big city shelters. We can’t thank the Bissell Pet Foundation enough for joining our efforts in giving homeless pets a second chance. So many come to Pet Adoptions of Cuero malnourished, hungry and in ill health from having to eat anything they can find. Being able to re-establish their diets with nourishing quality canned and dry food will make a difference. And healthy pets are adoptable pets – so this has been a wonderful win-win for Pet Adoptions of Cuero, Texas. Thank you Cathy Bissell for creating this amazing grant program.
Gifts for PAOC
Wow – look at this multi wagon full of pet food and shelter supplies that arrived recently at Pet Adoptions of Cuero. Posing with the donations and one of our new adoptable puppies “Milly” is little Miss Sophia. She just celebrated her 5th birthday and told her friends and family that any “gifting” should be made instead to the pet rescue and shelter. Sophia passed on getting lots of birthday presents and toys so she could help play it forward and support the local non profit adoption center. Special thanks to her mom, Sarah Warzecha and grandparents Cynthia and Michael Warzecha and all her party guests for blessing PAOC with much needed supplies.
Fun playdate at Stevens Healthcare
Pet Adoptions of Cuero recently had a fun afternoon at Stevens Healthcare of Yoakum. Nelda Huber, Samantha Brawdy and Linda Anzaldua packed up some of the smaller pets for a playdate with the residents at Stevens. There was lots of coo’s and cuddles and the pets really enjoyed the extra love and attention. Tishanne Carroll of Stevens was on hand snapping adorable pics of the furry cuties while the residents were entertained with their playfulness and antics. Thank you Stevens Healthcare team for inviting PAOC to a most enjoyable afternoon visit.
Faith Academy donates...
An Amazing Day at PAOC! The biggest pick up truck and the “bestest” Faith Academy students arrived this morning with over 1600 pounds of dog food and dog treats – all donated by the students to benefit the non profit pet rescue and animal shelter in Cuero. Truly it was the largest one time donation ever made to our small town shelter in it’s history. The PAOC crew on hand, Nelda and Paul Huber and Linda Anzaldua were overwhelmed and in awe and so grateful to Marcie Kucera, Principal Mr. Long and the Faith Academy Christian Honor Students who headed up this service project. Along to help deliver the bonanza of food were students Gabriella, Kora, Andrew and Mason.

Thanks Tucker for being a shining example of kindness and generousity in helping the homeless pets at the shelter get a 2nd chance.
Faith Academy Assists PAOC...
Pet Adoptions of Cuero was so happy to have this wonderful team of students from Faith Academy in Victoria join us recently for a work and play day. They went out of their way to show lots of love and care for the homeless pets as well as helping with the many tedious daily tasks. Luckily a new litter of pups arrived and the school crew jumped right in to bathe and deflea the six new arrivals. Many thanks to Marcie Kucera for creating this community outreach project for the shelter and the school. Much appreciation also for the shelter supply donations to the non profit 501c3 rescue and home for temporary homeless cats and dogs.
Yorktown Elem School Student Council Officers Donate...
Pet Adoptions of Cuero hosted a shelter tour and visit with the Yorktown Elementary School Student Council officers recently. The children in grades 2 thru 5 also collected a bounty of shelter supplies, dog and cat food, pet treats and toys to donate to the homeless pets at the non profit rescue and shelter. Sponsors Ms. Bryant and Ms. Whitten accompanied the group visit which was both educational and heartwarming as the dogs and cats really enjoyed the petting and attention. Thank you to all the students and parents who provided the much needed donations.
Salute to the best dog walkers...
Pet Adoptions of Cuero wants to salute the best dog walkers and “petters” in Texas! Long time PAOC dog walking veterans Nelda and Paul Huber were joined recently by the additional team of Darryl and Donna Leist. So much credit goes to volunteers like these who come to the local Cuero shelter to help stretch the legs and paws of the dozens and dozens of homeless animals. While the small town shelter is known for having really large kennels and runs for the dogs, nothing beats the extra attention and exercise the pets get by a daily stroll up and down Highway 183. Pet Adoptions of Cuero is proud of their roster of highly social, friendly and “adoptable ready” pets in it’s inventory and it’s kind folks like these who donate their spare time and energy to give these lovable pets a second chance.
Cuero TSC Donates...
Hip Hip Hoorah for Cuero Tractor Supply! As part of a major company wide TSC project created to help non profits who took a hit with the bad Texas weather recently, Pet Adoptions of Cuero was chosen to receive a with a very generous gift card. Gratefully accepting the prepaid card from Joseph Chavez at the local Cuero Tractor Supply store is PAOC representative Linda Anzaldua. The TSC card was immediately put to use to restock dog and pet food for the 501c3 non profit shelter. Thank you TSC for supporting our local pet rescue and adoption shelter.
NJHS Donates...
Wow - Just in time to restock the pet food pantry at Pet Adoptions of Cuero! Super special thanks to Cuero Junior High’s National Honor Society for their tri-weekly supply drive for Pet Adoptions. Here’s their special envoy, Heather Stewart delivering the first week’s haul and sharing cuddles with one of the newest pups “PEANUTS”. It’s no secret the local shelter is filled to capacity and beyond with homeless dogs and cats – let’s make that hungry homeless dogs and cats. Thank you to all that contributed and PAOC is looking forward to the donations the group plans to collect during the final two weeks of this event. The non profit 501c3 shelter is definitely a shelter in NEED. The local support is truly appreciated.

Pet Dreams Do Come True
Just when the crew at Pet Adoptions of Cuero assumed 2020 was going to be a difficult year to survive with cancelled fundraisers and an over abundance of unwanted homeless pets – along came the caring students at Lifeway Baptist School. Truly another wonderful example of the communities support for the 501c3 non profit shelter. The students, families, teachers and staff created an overwhelming collection of much needed shelter items – pet food, pet treats, collars, toys, leashes and lots of cleaning supplies too. It was better than the story “Babes in Toyland” because it became BABES IN PETLAND when the Lifeway Baptist School team loaded up the Pet Van with all the wonderful donations. God’s homeless furry friends at PAOC will truly be well cared for this December.
NJHS Lends a Helping Hand
National Junior Honor Society representatives Gavin Plummer and Conner Kubesch were on hand recently at Pet Adoptions of Cuero to lend a helping hand. Enjoying the extra attention are the final 2 black lab puppies available for adoption – Bridgette and Betsy. Their 3 siblings have already been adopted and are enjoying “home life” with their new families. So these two are hoping they will a family of their own for the holidays too. They can also be adopted together – their playtimes and antics will truly entertain everyone – and there is a discounted adoption for doubles. Come check out these cuties soon.
Cuero Gobbler Day at PAOC
It was Cuero Gobbler’s Day at Pet Adoptions of Cuero. The teammates are continuing the tradition of showing their community service spirit with weekly visits to help out at the shelter. The roster of young men help socialize and provide needed interaction with the pets. Every visit is a win-win for the kenneled dogs and cats who appreciate the variety of new “human” friends offering love and attention. So again – the Gobbler’s are not only winners on the football field – they are winners in the hearts of the homeless furry friends. We love our Gobblers!
