Dogs, dog stuff and cat stuff at Pet Stuff Resale

This 52" tall cat tower has seen next to no use because the newly adopted cat wanted NO part of it. This is your gain, it is in excellent condition. At medium weight, it is 55.00  SOLD


Elfin is hoping to have his knee surgery soon; he is asking for "likes" on Facebook as well as  tax deductible donations. His page is Elfins knees. At 6 months he is up to a whopping 3.4 lbs. He is also available for appearances at your office or dog friendly restaurants if anyone wants to sponsor a small fundraiser. (He really likes Lemongrass in Bellaire) He will be up for adoption-I am not keeping him.

My goodies "scout" Nancy found these yesterday and knew they would make terrific elevated dog rests. 21"x25",16" off the floor, they would be good for small to medium dogs that just "have" to be up on something. These used to be ottomans are made of corderoy so not recommended in a cat house hold unless you want an inexpensive cat post.
15.00 each or both for 25.00  SOLD


Elevated dog food/waterer
Metal inner bowl not included but recommended that they be used inside as plastic absorbs bacteria (stuff pet stores don't tell ya)
22.00


This is a stand for a large flat back hex aquarium, but with a nice piece of _________, could make a nice plant stand or a neat way to display collectibles(marine stuff?)
This is a the CAP thrift store and was not yet priced when I left. 281-497-7559 is their number.

Torch is a VERY lucky girl whose time was drawing very short at Montgomery Cty animal shelter.
Kate from Country Hearts was there to get another dog and happened to see this precious 8 month old. She somehow got into Kates car:)  In the picture
she was still groggy from getting spayed. She is looking for her perfect home and is on their Facebook page.

This smal/medium Travel Aire crate is only 8.00 due not having a handle.
This sleek looking cat bed would be great for small dogs as well. 12.00
SOLD

Foster dogs and sweaters need new homes at Pet Stuff Resale:)



Flan the chihuahua is now all of 14 weeks old and waiting for his new home. He is crate "aware", not quite trrained yet and has learned to whip out of his sweater in seconds flat! He plays nicely by himself with stuffies, but also likes to play with other dogs and LOVES to run thru the leaves at the park across the street.
He was turned in at a shelter as a stray at 4 weeks, who would leave a tiny puppy outside?

Kirby the 7 year old cocker (I thought he was 10) has no interest in removing his sweater, he likes them, wanted a new one on our last trip to Petsmart. He wants a home who handles his slight dominance with
a firm but gentle manner; he understands immediately that he has pushed his luck just a hair too far. He is
a very nice dog, TOTALLY housebroken, quiet and a great walking dog. He has the demeanor of a 4 year old dog. His owner died and he has been in my care since August. He has learned to get along with other dogs and loves to ride in the truck, can't figure out why we sometimes walk right past it!


Both dogs are available for adoption thru a shelter and so are both sweaters for 4.00 and 7.00 at Pet Stuff Resale!

Kitten in a ferret cage, chihuahua in an aquarium?


Stephen Lee(named after the vet who saved his life) came to me as a rescue kitten weighing a whopping 8 oz. Housing for him proved difficult as he
was so tiny he could slip thru a wire cage and to be living in full time
a plastic one was too confining. A friend had just given me a rectangular
bird cage that was perfect, tiny bar spacing and a big enough opening
for a small litter box. (I used a metal Twinings Tea tin!). I used a waffle cloth towel so he wouldn't get his claws caught in the loops of a regular towel. He now weighs 16 oz and too big for that cage so today I moved him to a tall ferret cage and wrapped the ladder with a washcloth so he wouldn't get caught on the rails. He LOVES the increased climbing possibilities and is a tiny bit more coordinated to handle the height. I should have taken pictures.

Last Christmas I was selling during an Open House and it was quite chilly,
so I put my foster chihuahua in the aquarium shown. It was perfect, as it kept the wind off of him and people could still see him. Of course the sweater he had on was for sale:)He was a great "hook" to my booth.

This is yet another fun part of my job; finding alternative pet housing for clients needs. Pet Stuff Resale can help you with any unusual request
or a situation where traditional housing is not working for your pet.

Heartworms are SO preventable say these chihuahuas



Both of these precious babies came into a shelter with heartworms. As small as they both are, the treatment is much harder on them, more expensive and more time consuming.
Skeeter on the left also has a grade 4 heart murmur, common in heartworm positive dogs, which

makes his treatment even trickier. Rica on the right came in from a backyard breeder of another

breed, which just compounds this felony.


They both wanted the camera to go away in the first picture, but with a little patience, I was able to get a wary shot of them. Their cooperation bolted the second this photo was snapped!


Houston is the number one market in the United States of the nasty(but necessary) heartworm treatment, Immiticide. I would love to see Houston lose that negative
designation!

Kitty Walk strollers are for the dogs, say chihuahuas

Of course this wonderful invention was intended for cats to be able to go outside without "going outside", but small dogs love them also. I would say up to about 15 lbs; it is pretty strong.
It was impossible to get an entire chihuahua body to stay up front in the stroller long enough to get a good picture, but they do love these! What's not to like says the "rodent" crew at my house? The pet is protected, can't escape and a human does all of the work.

These are also neat as the carriage(basket) part is removeable and it all folds up nicely. The
door features 3 strong metal twist closures so no chance of accidental escape due to vibration.

I have seen these on the Internet at 130.00 but now 65.00 at Pet Stuff Resale.

Pet Stuff Resale small dog snuggly things-PART 2




This is a child's sleeping bag made of the same parachute material as the jacket in the previous post. My small foster
dogs jockey for position the second this hits the floor! Folded up, it makes for wonderful burrowing.
Both of these girls will be available
after their terrible skin conditions improve, they have made rapid progress since I picked them up. The one on the left also has to be treated for heartworms and they do not need to be placed
together. Their working names are Cutie and Tootie.

Your small dog needs a Bark A Lounger!



One of the neatest things about what I do for a living is finding unusual items
that can be recycled into pet items.

Diva the chihuahua puppy is posing on what she thinks is her throne. A blue corderoy
child's recliner is perfect for napping but small enough that jumping down isn't
a risk. The chair is only 26 inches at the top and 21 inches wide. A nice feature is the material reaching between the chair itself and the foot rest; it keeps a dog from falling between the pieces. Safety is a big concern of mine when choosing pet items to resell.
The best part.....ta da...at Pet Stuff Resale it is only 21.00!

Diva is also looking for the perfect home. She is a whopping 3 lbs and wants an all adult home with a buddy dog. She was a stray turned into a Houston shelter and will
be spayed before going to her new home; I am her foster.
Getting her to remain still for a better picture would have required stapling
her paws to the arm of the lounger:)
