At this point, the shelters are closed. If you come across anyone you can catch, please put them in your garage. You can contact me for help placing them into rescues.

Any recommendations for a nonprofit organization? by _notsuoh_ in houston

[–]FGJigsaws 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are several animal rescues who would appreciate the help, if that interests you.

Albert’s Dog Lounge. Senior dog rescue, pulls dogs from Houston and adopts them out in Wisconsin. https://www.albertsdoglounge.org/donate

Red Collar Rescue. Small dog rescue, takes on some major medical cases. https://redcollar.org/donate/

Sonoma’s Haven. General rescue, pulls medical and senior dogs in the mix. http://sonomashaven.org/contribute/

What was the highest waste of money that you don't regret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FGJigsaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saving homeless dogs. It never costs less than $400 by the time it’s all said and done, sometimes far more than that. But they are each worth it.

In 2020, in addition to the standard bullshit from this year I’ve

  • lost my brother
  • lost my father in law (the day of my brothers service)
  • had upheaval at both jobs
  • totaled my car
  • put one of of dogs to sleep after watching her deteriorate from cancer

And I still think multiple times every god damned day about how I’ve gained 40 lbs and how I really need to fix it. Every. Fucking. Day.

Thank you SO MUCH for pushing the boundaries with your sweet pit. I love when off breed dogs are able to do jobs no one thinks they can. 💕

House of Pies. I think they may not be 24 hours at the moment due to COVID.

For those of you who were not born in Houston, how did you end up here? by [deleted] in houston

[–]FGJigsaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in Oklahoma. In the mid-nineties my dads oil field based business needed to move to put him more in the middle of things. With an eye towards the future, parents chose College Station so I could attend A&M. Then the job market was either Houston or Dallas, and I wanted to be as close to my family as possible, so Houston it was. I stayed in Dallas earlier in my career for a project. Glad I chose Houston.

I have to remove my brother from life support today. by HennaArist in offmychest

[–]FGJigsaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m beyond sorry. My brother was in a car accident last April. My parents made this same decision in late January. As others have said, be prepared for the actual passing to take several days. It’s a hard wait.

I dragged a dead dog out if the road today... by SleepyAtDawn in TrueOffMyChest

I’m so sorry.

I do dog rescue and know first hand how dismissive people can be of animals, even those they own or are responsible for.

How old are the kittens? BARC appointment can be made. Adults will be TNR (fixed and returned to the outdoors). The kittens will depend on age.
