Dog Faces in the Crowd


More fun for me  is getting to work around so many dogs. In my travels I see some great faces and finally started to photograph them. It's not part of Pet Stuff Resale but people like them so much, this feature has become part of the company blog.

Abba was spotted at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. Four years old, she was at her adoption kennel for a year when her now owner came by just to walk a dog....and he didn't want another big dog:)

 I met Cammy today as she was leaving Gulf Coast after having a paw removed and ACL surgery. A patient of Dr Beale's, she was escorted out in seriously neat  rolling transportation by not one but two care takers!

Gus is a wonderful example of a wonderful breed. Such a happy boy at Chestnut Animal Hospital....


This incredible pug is almost 16 years old and still has great hearing, sight and heart function. His daddy is a softie when it comes to his baby. I am sorry I forgot his name-was at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. He had a girl pug buddy who died at 10 last year, like many breeds it's tough to just have one pug. 


Spencer and his mom were also at Kingsland Blvd Animal Clinic. He is one of three pugs in the family.


Emma Hope has a very murky immediate past. She showed up in a dog run at Kingsland Blvd Vet Clinic with no information at all.. My wonderful bud Greta Jean has added her to her  dachsie/greyhound household. Emma Hope is 11 or 12 years old and settling in quite nicely.

Please follow Pet Stuff Resale on Facebook to see items available for sale.

Houston Dog faces and 1 more


Gizzie on the left and Georgia below were minding their own business at Tanglewilde Vet Clinic when they were bombarded with pictures. This owner was so accommodating-the girls REALLY  just wanted to get out of Dodge and defeated our repeated attempts to photograph them together. 
One of them turns 11 this week!



Mikey and Missy were both adopted  by my wonderful bud Gretajean, both had heartworms(will people never understand the importance of prevention?) and both have this binkie addiction:)

These are their Halloween witch binkies. Mickey gets whichever one he can yank from under the computer table when Missy is otherwise engaged.

Bailey was incredibly patient for her nail trim. Richard her owner came by for a nail trim,which I do for 5.00-Greater Good sends lots of clients to me, thanks!. Then he asked to be shown how to do it. Kim my bud was visiting, so was quickly conned into helping:)

Chloe was patiently waiting her turn at Westbury Vet Clinic last month when the roving Pet Stuff Resale camera caught her. She looks about 4, she is really 13. She has a wonderful owner who did major research into vets after moving to Houston from New York. I very much enjoyed visiting with her and think she made a good decision in vets!

I really feel sorry for folks with real jobs that can't rove around as I do, so the dog faces are to add a little joy to your day. It is not by accident that most of them are "seasoned" faces, those are my favorite.

Oh, yea, this blog is supposed to also highlight items from Pet Stuff Resale for sale.......
Rocco was turned in to a shelter when his owners could not afford treatment for his broken leg.  All healed, he now needs a permenant home, all 4 lbs of him. He desperately hopes the Halloween costume finds a different home! It says Devilish Dog on the back which is 180 dogrees from his personality. He is one of the sweet, even quiet, chihuahuas, gets along with other dogs and even cats.

I will have items for sale(and a foster dog) at the Kingsland Blvd 30th anniversary Open House this Saturday 2-5 pm. 281-578-1506 is their number. Of course there will be a pet costume contest. I have a booth in Exam room 9. My cell is 817-480-8400 if you want to see what I am bringing.

Also share this blog with your buds if you like. A portion of PSR sales benefit
rescue animals.

Can you be open minded about pit bulls?


This is Bahrain, 4 months old, already neutered.
 Branching out from showcasing items from Pet Stuff Resale, in this post 2 foster dogs are being profiled. Citizens for Animal Protection is one of the few shelters that evaluates pit type breeds instead of automatically euthanizing or turning them away. Potential adopters are screened specifically about their interest in the breeds.
These two unrelated pups have mild upper respiratory infections and needed about 10 days in isolation.

The economy and fires have reduced adoption options so drastically that it will be even tougher than usual to place them. These two are protected by having a foster, but still need wide exposure to find them good homes. Please share this so I can take the next 2 dogs that need me.

He has NOT had an ear enhancement procedure!


Trying to showcase Bahrains freckles was tough; there are so many neat
smells in the woods to distract the dogs. I am not even guessing as to each ones primary breed.
Colonel is a 5 month old pit mix, also neutered. He is about 40 lbs and a little more macho right now than Bahrain, who is a 35 lb wuus.




Yea, they are both crate trained!
They both can sit on command and they have heard of "stay", but are convinced I can't possibly mean it. Many, many photos were taken to get just 2-3 with as little motion"blur" as possible.

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!

Plastic exercise pen very popular at Pet Stuff Resale



Sisters Pandy and Mandy are showing how to use a plastic exercise pen to its best use; to lean on so they can see out more! 30" tall and approximately 15 linear feet, it provides ample play area for puppies. The configuration of the plastic discourages climbing puppy feet(Chihuahuas and Poms are notorious climbers) and can be reconfigured easily. It folds up for easy storage.


Many people prefer these to the wire xpens as they do not rust, so can be left outside when needed. This just came into Pet Stuff Resale and is 50.00 plus tax.


Pandy and Mandy have been in my foster care for a year, since they were 6 weeks old. Their mom was a blue heeler and one of the dads was a chihuahua, which shows alot in one of the male

littermates, TugBoat. No one knows the rest of the male lineage! They are both under 15 lbs
and at full growth.


Wish them luck on an adoption interview tomorrow! Many people have inquired about them,
but I have wanted to keep them together as they are very bonded.

Windsor after a visit to Copperfield Grooming



Thanks to Kat for donating this!

Windsor, a Houston rescue dog needs a home




This precious boy has questionable ancestry, but a touch of Schnauzer is in there somewhere!
He is about 4 years old and weighs 10 lbs;I am fostering him. He is very quiet and reserved inside, which is how I came up with his name. He would be fine as an only dog
or with others.
From this picture he looks like a Klingons pet dog!

CraigsList is no place for pets


This is Buddy. I am his fourth placement in 8 months. His crime? I am sure it was "Felonious
Activity Level"; he acted like an unneutered puppy, which he is(was)! This poor dog was on Craigslist twice; fortunately the last "owner" decided to give him to me rather than any of the over 20 other people who emailed him from his $10.00 for sale ad. He was a nice man with limited dog knowledge and I appreciated him letting me take on Buddy to find him a real home.

Buddy had been terribly matted and had not been on heartworm prevention; one previous owner had promised to send vet records, but of course had not.

While Craigslist is good for many things rehoming or obtaining a pet from it is not a good idea and this certainly proves that. If Buddy had been neutered and taken better care of, he would have been a very nice dog by now. He is a bright, happy, lively dog and to his credit does not appear to have been adversely affected by the frequent disruptions in his short life.

Luckily Buddy tested negative for heartworms and is up for adoption thru a Houston area animal shelter. This way there is medical testing and records kept; some accountability for him. Very importantly, he will be microchipped and his home will be screened to prevent him bouncing around from place to place. Being in a foster home, he has fast learned some manners and is now crate trained. He needs an experienced home with a companion dog who also likes to
play.

His breed is difficult to tell; we are guessing some cocker somewhere, maybe some poodle thrown in; he is about 12 lbs.

Many thanks to Ashford Vet Clinic for donating his neuter and to Copperfield Grooming
for donating his terribly cute grooming.

I was wrong about the First Dog

I assumed the White House would be the site of a new dog as soon as they
move in and I'm happy to be corrected. In an interview it was revealed that
they are going to wait a while until they are settled in and that has been the plan all along. I wish more people would be that wise when getting a new pet.
