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

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!

Cricket the bionic chihuahua needs a home


This precious baby came into a Houston shelter with an old leg fracture and it looked as if amputation was going to be his only
option. At only 4 lbs, his front leg near his ankle was so shattered that there wasn't enough viable bone to
repair, so a bone graft from his shoulder was required. Dr Jeff Chalkley of Westbury Animal Hospital who has helped me many times, put in a tremendous
effort to repair the radius and ulna. The repair was so extensive there wasn't even time to neuter Cricket, but it has been done now! Dr Chalkley put in a metal plate but warned me that it might not work. It was very hard to go thru the weeks of rehab not knowing if we would still have to amputate at the end. A dog carries 60% of its weight on the front legs, so life is much harder than if a rear leg is amputated.
Yea for Dr Chalkley and Cricket-it worked and Cricket plays with other chihuahuas as if nothing
ever happened.
He is ready for an all adult home that is prepared to have surgery in the future if the plate shifts
or needs to be replaced for any reason.
Marvin Zindler had his angels, I have Houston vets like Dr Chalkley. Thank you, Dr Jeff!
