Houston dog faces in the crowd

 Ginger is a new nail trim client of mine and she brought her 3 buddies as well, but she is the prettiest one of all to me. I really like senior faces when I go scouting for dog faces. Puppies? yawn
Penni is a 6 year old stunner!  She is up for adoption  at CAP 281-497-0591. She is very laid back and great with children. Barbara is her foster mom. Her rescuer died suddenly so CAP took on 3 of her dogs.

Bailey was spotted at a donut shop in Rosehill, Texas

Donovan was adopted as a puppy by a CAP employee and he is now moving to Mexico with her!
He is a gentle giant.
Cricket has a metal pin in one front leg but the vet did such a good job you can't tell which one! He needs a home as well.I am his foster. He is modeling a belly band which is a great invention for some male chihuahuas.
Leonard is Baileys roommate and also at the Rosehill donut shop.
It is great fun sharing with you the dog faces I find in my travels. Please visit and like the Pet Stuff Resale page on Facebook. cell 7 days a week is 817-480-8400

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.

 Rica at 7 lbs is sporting a BRIGHT sweata that would actually fit a slightly longer dog better and up to 9 lbs. It is 4.00 at Pet Stuff Resale. Rica at 5 years is still looking for a permanent home thru CAP after being given up by a backyard breeder of a different breed.
Ricky at 9 lbs is wearing a another bright sweata that would fit a slightly longer dog and up to 11 lbs.4.00 A stray from BARC, Ricky is also looking for his permanent home from CAP.

Look what was in the Pet Stuff Resale warehouse!

End of the year means doing inventory in preparation for taxes and EVERY year there are surprises.."oh yea, that's where that was" kind of revelations:)


 This ottoman instantly meowed at me in the store..looks like a cattoman to me. Cats would love to perch on it AND tear around under the skirt underneath as well.


 A nice touch that the legs are covered and the skirt is lined.


This very well made custom "cattoman" is 21.00 SOLD
This 10-15 gallon aquarium stand has been nicely repainted with a semi gloss paint; coupled with a 10 gal tank and lights(too cold for photographer to assemble) it is for sale for 42.00.
  It can however be repurposed for several other things. The back can be enclosed or not and provide storage...maybe gardening things or in a spare room. I can see a large beach scene painting perched on it.
A sunken planter would do well or 2-3 pots on top; it is fairly strong.26.00 by itself
 Baby gates are just flat good, cheap insurance!  It's amazing what doesn't get chewed when puppies can't get to it... This expands to 40" in.  17.00 SOLD

Manufacturers should make pink crates every year; they are that popular. Since they aren't, they are in high demand in the secondary market. 12.00 SOLD

This large(24x26x36")  Deluxe Vari Kennel is popular due to having metal vents on the sides.
This is tougher for those teenage puppies to chew... 50.00 at Pet Stuff Resale


This is baby Elfin, a 4 month old chihuahua weighing only 2.1 lb, with horrendously luxating patellas.He was released by the SPCA(Thank you!) to Chestnut Rehab, a nonprofit in Bellaire, Tx. to get more orthopedic help than a shelter can provide.
He needs a miracle of a TV story or the like due to the expense of this complicated surgery.  In an unusual move, 3 of my bud vets from 2 clinics are teaming up for the surgery. Coordinating the tax deductible donations is Chestnut Rehab,4834 Chestnut, Bellaire, Tx 77401. 713-667-4244 There is no chip in or Pay Pal involved.



Thank you for reading the Pet Stuff Resale blog; please share it with your buds. Part of the proceeds goes to rescue efforts. Please join us on Facebook at Pet Stuff Resale.

HUGE garage sale yields great pet items!

I stand in line for 2 hours(as a veteran, I really bring a chair and a book) to get into this annual garage sale and it is worth it. Today I had to stand guard over the stuff as people who came in behind me were trying to get it as well:)
29? gal acrylic tank and stand
The stand is sturdier than it looks and the acrylic had not yet been cleaned-darkness was fast approaching so pictures were a tad hurried. Tank and stand-45.00



Not only are the bowls heavy, but the metal stand is also, so fine for thwarting the dish thrower/carriers:)
21.00



This is most of the haul. The quality control officer is from next door, made himself at home all on his own.




Kittens do better on posts such as this instead of taller trees as they are not quite coordinated and falling is not so traumatic. Can you say they don't have their sea legs yet? :)
23.00

33" tall

This wonderfully fluffy bed from Costco has been cleaned since the photo-pilling all gone. This is cocker/small boxer sized.  18.00

There are also 6 crates in different sizes, a 4 ft aquarium  light and a 29 gal reptile aquarium a pink sweater and several other beds, Email me or text is great-817-480-8400

Doggie items in at Pet Stuff Resale





With cold weather approaching, childrens sleeping bags make great, inexpensive dog beds.
Both big dogs and little dogs love them. Min Pins and chihuahuas will burrow in them in July!
Boogie the Yorkie/escape artist is looking for a very patient home with a buddy dog. He says male dogs like pink also.

8.00









It is difficult to find very W I D E gates. This one is neat because the  two connectors are flexible, so it doesn't have to be a straight line barrier. This flexibility allows this to be used in multiple ways and in non traditional sized openings. It is a discontinued gate from the Cardinal Gate company, but you can peruse the website to see how expensive metal gates are new. This one looks new and it only 70.00. It extends up ot 10 feet. It is 28" tall.




This HUGE PetMate portable pet home is great for big dogs or several smaller ones, as long as they don't chew. Most softsided or mesh crates are unsellable due to chew holes, but this one has been repaired almost professionally.

As always, Pet Stuff Resale does not cover up or minimalize used conditions, this is marked down  because of it. It is 41x29x32. It also comes with a cover and tie down stakes for camping. (I would not recommend using anything soft like this when camping.) I think it is great for traveling for over night sleeping and even some post surgery cases.
50.00 sold





Fizzie the dachshund LOVED this as soon as her mom plopped it on the floor. It is a soft car chair and was only 6.00 at Pet Stuff Resale. Thank you Gail, for being a repeat customer! Fizzie is a former foster of mine who is now 12 years old we think.

2 unusual dog items and a cat themed blanket at Pet Stuff Resale



Big dogs love these beds, many prefer to nap in an elevated area and toddler beds are perfect! This one is in very good condition.

The mattress is a Simmons BeautyRest "Elegance"


                                 60.00 at Pet Stuff Resale


53"X80"
This blanket is actually brown and light tan.This looks like a postcard is a picture taken on my cell phone camera. It looked very good on my bed:)
14.00




The other dog item is a white metal crib on rollers that would be great for either foster puppies or post surgery dogs that need to stay quiet. Geriatric dogs that are too fragile for mingling with more active dogs but still want to be part of the gang would also do well in this crib. (Picture at the end of the blog shows the bed folded up w/o the mattress and base.) It is 24"x39" and the bar spacing is 2", so little heads cannot get stuck in them.(Kitten heads could get thru them).
This is one of the neatest things to ever come into Pet Stuff Resale; the rolling makes it easy to move around, it's easy to keep clean, it's multi purpose. Wait, it also folds up! The bottom removes and it can be used with or without the mattress. Little paws cannot climb the smooth metal.
45.00


Many thanks to my associate Nancy who found the 2 beds, she ferret outs some neat stuff while looking for books. Talk about networking; she adopted a greyhound from me in 1988!

Please subscribe to this blog if you haven't already and forward it to interested buds, as well as letting me know if you no longer want to receive it. I do not want to be intrusive. A portion of sales benefits rescue animals.

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

BIG BIG kennels at Pet Stuff Resale and a play yard

All eleven plastic and wire kennels fit(snugly) onto my truck yesterday, nesting and stacking nicely eventually, I missed the photo op!

Here's what I have:


The play yard is great for small dogs as the configuration is difficult for them to get their widdle paws in to climb. It is 29" tall and 12 feet long. There are no metal parts to rust so can be left outside.
50.00




This is a 48" long drop pin. Not as convenient as the folding models if it needs to be moved often, as there are multiple pieces, but if it stays stationary, the lower price vs the folding variety may be worth it. This is 65.00.
There are 2 more 48" long drop pins available, both black and have some rust. They are 55.00 each.




These two crates are 50.00 each. The one on the left is a 36" long Precision suitcase(folds down in one piece) in good shape.
The one on the right is a 42" long suitcase with some rust, the tray is not rusted thru, that is surface rust only.


In plastic crates: Furrari 550-this discontinued crate is 3 inches wider than the traditional xlarge plastic crate-30x30x40. It has plastic clamps on the sides rather than screws.
60.00
Xlarge Pet Porter-the regular tan plastic crate-27x30x40
60.00
Pictures of these are available. All kennels have been disinfected.
Thank you Cheryl Jones for facilitating the sale of the 2 Giant crates before I even got them unloaded!


I will be selling near the Greater Good this Saturday instead of BARC and  also on Easter Sunday afternoon.
Email me for my cell number to see what inventory I have each day.
