Foster application for Mustard Seed Farm Animal Sanctuary: https://form.jotform.com/msfanimalsanctuary/Fosterapplication

Adoption application for same: https://msfanimalsanctuary.org/adoption-form/

Drake is a 4Y HW- male Australian Cattle Dog mix just tagged from the BARC euthanasia list two days ago. He is one of the few from that list still alive.

Once you have completed and submitted the foster application, alert Mustard Seed to your application by e-mailing them at Msfanimalsanctuary@gmail.com or message them on FB at https://www.facebook.com/share/14hpTvwyarM/

Then message OP or u/BanditY77 so we can give them a nudge, too.

Fostering is LOVE! all expenses paid! How can you turn that down and cost Drake his life at the same time?

Houston Survival Network

Just launched: Houston Survival Network (HSN) 🌆🛰️

I’ve been building a project called Houston Survival Network — a decentralized-style community hub focused on survival, preparedness, mutual aid, local coordination, and future-proof networking for people in Houston.

The idea is simple:

If systems fail, communities matter more than ever.

HSN is designed as a digital network where people can:
• connect with others in Houston
• share survival knowledge/resources
• organize local groups
• prepare for emergencies/disasters
• build resilient community infrastructure
• eventually integrate mapping, communication tools, and incentivized participation systems

This isn’t some doom bunker fantasy thing. It’s more about creating a modern preparedness + coordination network for real people living in a major city.

The long-term vision is:

  • decentralized communication
  • community resource sharing
  • local response coordination
  • gamified preparedness systems
  • survival education
  • potentially crypto/tokenized incentives later on

Would love feedback from:

  • survival/prepper communities
  • mutual aid organizers
  • Houston locals
  • mesh network / off-grid tech people
  • builders/designers/devs

Site:
https://houston-survival-network.vercel.app

Curious what features people would actually want in something like this.

1.5 year old Hellen needs help by tomorrow- lost her puppies will lose her life

Folks, this young mom was on euthanasia list for Saturday. The vet had to go to dinner or something and left her until Monday.
Her puppies died.

She has an infection that is easily treated.

Can anyone please help? Fostering will help a lot, if you can’t adopt.

Thank you

Found Dog Need Someone to Foster

Found this sweet older girl outside of our apartment complex. She does not have tags and only has a flea collar. We can’t keep her with us but also couldn’t let her suffer outside as it has been very hot. Please DM me if you can take her in for free. Thank you.

EDIT: We took her to the vet to see if she was chipped, and she is NOT chipped. She weighted 15lbs at the vet and looks like she may have had a litter in the past.

She is extremely sweet and friendly and I believe potty trained as well. We can’t foster her as we are leaving town for the next couple of weeks on Friday morning. Our dog is not friendly towards her either and are keeping them separate. We just couldn’t leave this sweet girl outside in this heat.

We are willing to drive and meet with anyone willing to taker her in. Thank you!

ISO Freelance Body Work for a 2006 Mazda Miata Mx-5

My husband has this Miata that is desperately in need of a new top. We purchased the top as well as the needed tools, and then realized that we are laughably ill equipped to do this job ourselves. All the body shops in our area are quoting $1000+ to swap out the tops. I was wondering if there was anyone in this sub who either works for a shop or has the skillset to replace the top for us for $500 cash and would be willing to do the work outside of their regular working hours.

If someone is interested, please dm me so we can work something out.

Thank you!

Rescue dog in need of fostering/ rehoming

Friends 'rescued' this dog from a street vendor a week or two ago. She's about 6 months old, 16 pounds, has had her first round of shots (plus heartworm/ flea/ tick prevention treatments), but no microchip.

She's very sweet, but seems to have a history of trauma because she can be shy, growls occasionally, and tried to bite their neighbor when he picked her up by surprise. She is very good with rabbits and other dogs (cats and young children unknown, but she's probably good around them, too).

They are unable to take care of her long term, but they are worried about her being in a shelter with her growling + biting attempt. They want to find someone who will take her in and work with her to get her more used to humans.

Any takers? Advice appreciated

Can anyone foster this 3-year old doggie girl?

Folks, this is Tessi, 3-year old and on death row tomorrow at BARC. If you adopt her, you will have to pay whole five dollars for her.
If you cannot adopt her, but you wanna help you can always foster her. It’s a great way to help dogs get out of that place until they find a permanent home. I know it’s like every day there is a list of however many dogs on the death row, but this girl has a good chance of getting adopted fairly quickly. She is super cute and only 40 pounds. If anyone can help, please get in touch.

Tessi has until tomorrow. She is NOT a dangerous dog, she had lovely notes throughout her stay but is getting stressed in shelter environment.

Please see if you could foster her if you can’t adopt her

At Ape-X Garage, we provide the lifts, tools and resources in a premium atmosphere to enable you to work on your car (or a friend's or client's car) for a flat hourly, daily or weekly rate. No more costly mechanic rates, hot driveway repairs, or HOA fines. You can now book a bay on our website, or give us a call at (281) 738-5418 and our team will get you taken care of. I also wanted to say thanks for all the positive feedback and suggestions, none of this would have been possible without you guys. See y'all in the shop!
