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

Thank you Diana Nguyen and Huffpost!

Pet Stuff Resale was lucky enough to be included in a Huffpost blog today featuring 8 unusual thrift stores.
Toddler beds are great for big dogs-65.00

After several inquiries from the blog, it made sense to give a short recap about this one of a kind pet business.

A corporate downsizing combined with a volunteer background in dog rescue
put me working at a Petco in Houston, Texas in 1997. It was there that the idea to recycle pet supplies was born and encouraged by other rescuers, vets and groomers.

Dogs items are still the number one category, with cat things second. Pet Stuff Resale also stocks things for reptiles, fish and small mammals as well.

It serves Houston only with no shipping.

Education is a big part of the service, from vet referrals to new puppy suggestions to parrot sitters. There is much I still don't know about animals, but probably know someone who does know about any given topic.

All items are disinfected. Items are not only bought and sold, but also rented. There is purposely no storefront.  I am available 7 days a week and fastest way to get what you need in pet supplies is calling-817-480-8400. Email is petstuffresale@aol.com
This short cat tower has a convenient removeable cover. 18.00

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.

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
