Dog items/TALL cat tree in at Houston's Pet Stuff Resale

N2N medium crate, not recommended for airline travel 16x17x23
door opens either side -in excellent condition 18.00 SOLD

Retro double diner in excellent condition 7.00

This tree is a whopping 6ft, 9in tall. It will take a while to refurbish and cost is not quite determined. It depends on my source for the sisal; probably between 115.00 and 125.00.
It is not recommended for kittens or senior cats. There are so many requests for tall trees
that it is being shown in the "before" condition so it can be reserved.


This whale baby tub is great for small dogs or kittens. It is 7" in at the deepest point, 30" total length, 17" of which is useable space, 12" wide 9.00
Elfin bolted a nanosecond later when he figured out it was a BATHTUB!


new 15" tall steps, foldable
21.00

Thank you for shopping at Pet Stuff Resale and sharing.

Save Christmas $$ 2 ways at Pet Stuff Resale


 The prices are good at PSR anyway, so the first way to save is easy.

Often items at PSR are new or look new so would make great gifts. (I am not recommending to hide that a gift is recycled.) That saves you money on your shopping list. Here's a perfect example.
This portable drinking bowl looks new and is 8.99 on Waterrover.com. It is hands free, leak free and excess water goes back into bottle.
 A great stocking stuffer at Pet Stuff Resale for 5.00.







This finch cage is sold at pet places as a parakeet cage, but it is too small even for one keet. For an animal used to flying, to live their whole life(or even most) in a cage this small is just flat wrong. 
This is part of how Pet Stuff Resale recycles. The tray was missing from the silver cage when I bought it, so I added a tray and wire base from another cage that was too rusted for me to sell.That went to metal recycling and this cage is repurposed. Paper covers most of the bottom anyway. I don't recommend pets for Christmas, but this could be an upgrade for a current cage. It can also be used for a hospital or transport cage.  16.00 at PSR








 Actually there is a 3rd way to save money!Purchasing something used as basic and practical as the reptile tank pictured at the bottom right corner frees up spending for other pet items you may want new.





Savannah Carolina was MOST uninterested in modeling this shell pink sweater. She weighs about 9 1/2 lbs,  it actually fit Lizbet the 13 lb dachshund better. Lizbet also enjoys wearing them:) This was custom made and only 4.00.

Both Savannah Carolina and Lizbet are still looking for their permanent homes.





This plaid tote is in excellent condition; another great gift idea for a cat owner/foster. It is 13.00
29/30 gal reptile tank and stand

Pet Stuff Resale does personal shopping for clients.

This is Linda, whom I met when she and her husband Allen adopted a senior chihuahua, Ricky, from me.
We immediately became buds and she has become one of my best customers as well as a repeat
adopter of another senior chi, Ricky!
I have mentioned Linda in a previous post as me being her personal shopper. Her dog Micah has his own toddler bed from Pet Stuff Resale. Having been to their home I know their tastes and all of their dogs (and turtles and chickens). That makes it great fun when I am roaming thru my inventory haunts and something jumps out at me that would be perfect for their brood.
About once a quarter we meet and she goes thru my truck bed and picks out what she likes,
which is about 95% of what I bring. She insists on buying lunch EVERY time and we each think we have the better end of this great relationship.
I could be your personal shopper too and you don't have to buy my lunch!

Adoption chihuahuas model camo jacket at Pet Stuff Resale


Cricket on the right and Meerkat below are modeling
this darling Size 1 camo jacket. They are actually hoping to get some media attention so they can get adopted as they are currently my fosters.

I purposely posed a male and a female in it because
it has a pink lining,which I have never seen paired
with camo, so it can be considered unisex! It is 4.00 at Pet Stuff Resale.

Cricket has been featured on this blog before; he was found wandering with a broken leg and had to
have a metal plate inserted, so he will have to be hand scanned at the airport for life. He is 3 years
old and needs an all adult home. He would like to have a play buddy.

Meerkat and her heartworms were turned into an animal shelter last year. She is 7 years old and has been successfully treated for them. She would be fine with other dogs or as
a solo dog in an all adult home.

Where does Pet Stuff Resale get inventory?


This is one of the most frequent questions I get, so decided to show one of my sources.
This is a flea market outside of College Station that is full to the road on Sundays; I was there on a Saturday(ok, I was up there visiting a vet also!) when the place is almost deserted.
(I sometimes drive up on Sunday before driving back to sell in front of the Greater Good near I 10 and Dairy Ashford.

Finding things for clients really makes my job fun and I actually found an aquarium set up at one of the maybe 5 tables that were there. That struck me as so funny that I had to take a picture to post here.

The answer to the inventory question is I buy anywhere I can, often from previous
customers, vets, groomers, Craigslist, inquiries from my truck signs, thrift stores, even deserted flea markets
and some places I accidentally run into.

I THINK these kitties like their cat furniture from Pet Stuff Resale:)





Major kudos to their humom for her patience in taking these terrific photos; she admitted salting the "tree" a little with catnip:). There were 12 great shots, I had a very difficult time cutting down to just these 4! Winston the black male is intimidated by absolutely nothing, he looks to be training baby girl Nell to be as feisty.

I recommend that all carpeted cat items be isolated for 90 days as they cannot be
totally cleaned all the way down to the base. Leaving out in the sun doesn't do it
either. I date everything when I get it in if I do not have its history as part of my "everything is sanitized" policy. This was 40.00 at Pet Stuff Resale.

Paco, the red chihuahua in the lower corner of one picture is a rescued baby as are
both of the cats, many thanks to Shelagh for that also!

Cleopatra gets a new home and a new dog crate from Pet Stuff Resale.

This precious baby was a stray and luckily someone took her to a Houston shelter.More luckily for her, a nice lady named Paige and her daughter Maddie adopted her. A two year old fluffy maltese/shih tzu mix, her full name is Cleopatra, Queen of Denial!

Cleo is shown here in her new crate from Pet Stuff Resale where she is very happy for sleepy time. Otherwise she thinks her familys life mission is to keep her tummy rubbed!

With my rescue background I am also pleased when a dog is adopted from a shelter. Thanks to this family for that and for their crate shopping choice.

Ducks part of the day at Pet Stuff Resale



This week found me driving to nearby Hempstead, Texas to pick up 2 dog houses from a
client. On the way out of the neighborhood I had to stop for several ducks; I scrambled for the camera but couldn't find it while they were stopped in the middle
of the street! They were in no hurry and equally unconcerned about a cat lying within
2 feet of the truck as I waited.

Parrots need to travel safely in vehicles also



One of my stock comments on crating in general is that none of us leave home thinking we'll get in a car wreck. If your vehicle gets rear ended or sideswiped, your pet becomes a flying missile.

There are harnesses, straps, cages,you name it, for keeping dogs and cats safe
while traveling, but I can't find much for birds. This cage is too small for anything but transport. It is not ideal as it is metal and could crush a bird, but it does seal belt nicely to keep the bird immobile.

I like the acrylic carriers, but they are very expensive and rarely come into the
secondary market.

Remember little critters need to ride safely also.
