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.

12 foot wide pet gate and a 3 ft tall shoe as a pet bed?

Ok, I am exaggerating, it's only 33" tall.



This is one of the neatest finds I have ever come across in 14 years of business! It can be used for either cats or dogs.

This gate attaches to either side if a door way and can be angled to accommodate various lenghts up to 12 feet. It is 29 in tall and has a pass thru gate. Additionally, small dogs cannot climb it as it has no horizontal bars.  New these run about 150.00, at Pet Stuff Resale it is 75.00.

The shoe is strong enough for Mike, but surprisingly light and easy to carry.
Possibly the neatest thing is that the cover unzips for washing.
50.00

Two containment items for well behaved dogs:)

This is called a Pet Home by Pet Mate. I like that it is canvas and has windows, but it does not have a solid floor, so only for small critters. My vote would be up to about 10 lbs. If you hold by the bottom, a decent travel option. I like the curved vs squared interior for scared babies; easier to retrieve them!  9.00
Ooops, can't find the rotate button. This is also intended for low stress pets, as it has some great chewing possibilities! This is good for camping or storefront adoptions with calm babies as it is lightweight and folds up nicely. This one is in excellent condition. Pet Stuff Resale also has a red and blue one. By Sport Pet this is 18"x32" and is 14.00

Metal recycling for a cause part of Pet Stuff Resale's service

When I started Pet Stuff Resale way back in 1997, my goals were to save people money as well as keeping things out of landfills. Now that I live in Waller County I can burn unusable items during burn times; still a better alternative to LOTS of plastic in landfills. I go to the extent of burning plastic crates and pulling out the metal vents left over and adding them to my metal recycling pile.


metal vents
 Sept. 10, 2010, the front page of the Houston Chronicle had an article about Sidney Johnson, who runs a metal recycling business in nearby Waller. He had witnessed corruption in the city government and his honesty sent one or 2 people to jail. As a result, according to the story, he has been shunned, lost recycling contracts and his business has suffered tremendously.
Mr Johnson and his assistant, Mr Taylor
I switched from a place where I got a few dollars for my metal stuff to giving him the recyclables. Mr Johnson is a very nice man; proud of his son Terrell at the University of Texas and his daughter LaToya at Prairie View A and M. I think that is a great cause to support, so any crate pieces or other metal that I cannot use goes to Mr Johnson.

I am so appreciative of my customers and wanted you to know how Pet Stuff Resale extends your economic cycle!
The chihuahua underneath the tailgate won't get near me or he would be neutered.....

Four happy dog endings thanks to one donor(and vets)

These four precious babies are alive because of a dedicated donor who contacts me on a regular basis to ask what I need. It is usually treatment for heartworms. That in itself is tragic because heartworms are deadly, but very inexpensive to PREVENT, horrendously expensive and painful to treat.Even though expensive, every small donation adds  up fast , so I am at 2 vet clinics almost every week saving more dogs.
Houston area vets are important to this equation as well, they donate the time and expertise to fight this seemingly endless battle.( I could stack crates to the ceiling EVERY day with Houston area dogs needing treatment.) Foster people are critical, as the dogs need to be crate for 30-60 days.
Your tax deductible donation will go a long way in making more happy endings. Chestnut Rehab is a registered nonprofit connected to Chestnut Animal Hospital. Located at 4834 Chestnut, Bellaire, Tx 77401, they will sent you a receipt. (713-667-4244)
(You never know, I may name a dog after you:)
