Houston, where every day is "Take your pet to work" day!

One of the many fun parts of my job is watching the pets enjoy what I have found for them. Here was a delivery/visit this week:)

My buddy Kat owns Copperfield Grooming, has pets of her own and does a fair amount of rescue. This results in frequent shopping at Pet Stuff Resale. As she is a regular customer, I look for stuff for her on all of my shopping jaunts(I can do this for you as well)
With my cell camera I just text her a picture and have about a 95% "yes" answer in seconds. As I know her pets pretty well, I know what Peaches, the 117 lb Irish Wolfhound, likes. She loves her new toy. I also know to call every new squishy toy a frog, makes it easier for her.

She never tears them up.                   She said "well worth $10, thanks"   

This scratchy wheel was perfect for some older foster kittens Kat has at home.  8.00

This cat tree will be good for the kittens when they get a little older and more coordinated.
It was 60.00

I could not have paid for better advertising; the MINUTE I put this on the floor, this baby girl POUNCED on it.

Then her littermate joined in:) This was 11.00

Unusual to have female orange tabbies, both of these are girls and would love to be adopted together.  Theres one in the tunnel. Prepare to be interrogated by Kat (knowing your vets phone number by heart is a help) at Copperfield Grooming at 281-463-2267



All of these 4 large dogs beds totaled about 50.00 and are from last weeks delivery. This precious little girl is spayed, heartworm negative and looking for her new home. (This was not a staged photo)



This was and will be again, a baby tub, great for small pups and dogs.
It is currently a kitten bed with blankies in it. 14.00 at Pet Stuff Resale

Copperfield Grooming is located at 7710 Cherry Park Drive, Suite Q, Houston, 77095. This is right off Hwy 6, look for the Burger King. 281-463-2267

(Oh yea, she doesn't know I did the whole blog about her furkids)

Bunkbeds for dogs???? and 1 more

One of the fun things about my job is scouting for pet items and a non pet item jumps out at me and sez " I could be a pet________!" Cashiers at one of my regular haunts ask "What dog thing is this going to be this time?"

This bunk bed is a great addition to a multi dog or dog/cat home. I have found that dogs nest more together when elevated, which means they take up less floor space! Here they can nap on the lower bunk or underneath and food, toy and blankie storage goes on top bunk. This makes for a very organized pet area. 150.00 at Pet Stuff Resale(google to see bunkbed prices, wow!)-some delivery available

 I have also used a bunk bed frame only for cats and they LOVE to climb as well as scratch, keeping them off my wooden bed headboard.

The correct terminology is "repurposing". I just call it fun! It also adds to part of my mission to recycle whatever can be given another use.

This  dog/cat hidey(very small dogs/cats) was picked up by my pet stuff shopper Nancy. I am not sure I would have picked up on its possibilities.
Thanks to CAP thrift store volunteer Sandra who knew its original purpose;

from IKEA, it's for little boys rooms to store toy trucks and the like, hung from the loop. The neat thing for pet owners is that the whole back(or base now) is velcroed on, so easy to remove for cleaning. 3.00 at Pet Stuff Resale

Cat, kitten items in at Pet Stuff Resale

I wish I could get more items in for cats, so happy to have a few for all of the cat lovers out there!







These large capacity litter boxes are great for several reasons. The hood keeps most dogs from snacking on the contents(gross, but it happens) as well as keeps litter from flying all over the place. The ridges on the ramp and the ramp itself also reduces the amount of litter escaping.

As are all items from Pet Stuff Resale, these have been disinfected and are 20.00 each.

EmeryBoard scratching pad, looks to be new, my cats literally pounced on it when I put one down, no sniffing around, getting used to a new thing, just POUNCE and scratch!  8.00

Ok, small dogs would like this pink bed as well, but it just looked "feline Princess" to me; inner pad is removeable. 6.00

This woven bed could also be for small dogs but I removed  a cat from it at the thrift store, so know cats would like it as well!  9.00


I will have all of these items and more  near the Greater Good, I 10 and Dairy Ashford in West Houston, Sat and Sunday-12-4. 817-480-8400-Houston cell

12 foot wide pet gate and a 3 ft tall shoe as a pet bed?

Ok, I am exaggerating, it's only 33" tall.



This is one of the neatest finds I have ever come across in 14 years of business! It can be used for either cats or dogs.


This gate attaches to either side if a door way and can be angled to accommodate various lenghts up to 12 feet. It is 29 in tall and has a pass thru gate. Additionally, small dogs cannot climb it as it has no horizontal bars.  New these run about 150.00, at Pet Stuff Resale it is 75.00.



The shoe is strong enough for Mike, but surprisingly light and easy to carry.
Possibly the neatest thing is that the cover unzips for washing.
50.00



really neat large dog themed fleece tops for men at Pet Stuff Resale

Ok, women can wear these also:)From the well kown Big Dog Company, this is an X large shirt/jacket in excellent condition. Even in the "sale" section of their website has similiar items for 25.00. At Pet Stuff Resale it is 13.00.

F

This fleecy sweat appears to be new and is a large. It is 13.00 as well.

I wil have these both at BARC on Saturday noon to 4. Please come and visit with the many dogs and cats and support the burger(including veggie burger) and drink concession  sponsored by Friends of  BARC .

Sunday I will be at my usual place near the Greater Good at I 10 near Dairy Ashford, also noon to 4.

Four happy dog endings thanks to one donor(and vets)

These four precious babies are alive because of a dedicated donor who contacts me on a regular basis to ask what I need. It is usually treatment for heartworms. That in itself is tragic because heartworms are deadly, but very inexpensive to PREVENT, horrendously expensive and painful to treat.Even though expensive, every small donation adds  up fast , so I am at 2 vet clinics almost every week saving more dogs.

Houston area vets are important to this equation as well, they donate the time and expertise to fight this seemingly endless battle.( I could stack crates to the ceiling EVERY day with Houston area dogs needing treatment.) Foster people are critical, as the dogs need to be crate for 30-60 days.

Your tax deductible donation will go a long way in making more happy endings. Chestnut Rehab is a registered nonprofit connected to Chestnut Animal Hospital. Located at 4834 Chestnut, Bellaire, Tx 77401, they will sent you a receipt. (713-667-4244)

(You never know, I may name a dog after you:)
