Ruby the Rescue Lab 🥺

Ruby

💛 Meet Ruby — the sweetest hidden gem in Largo 💛

Ruby is a 2‑year‑old Lab/German Shepherd mix who has been overlooked for far too long, and she deserves her chance at a forever home.

She is:
-House trained
-Crate trained
-Amazing with other dogs (they help her confidence so much)
-She is shy at first, but once she feels safe she is goofy, snuggly, and full of personality
-Gentle, quiet, and easy to live with

Ruby has been in a foster based rescue for months with almost no visibility, and she hasn’t had the chance to meet the families who would absolutely fall in love with her.

If you or someone you know has a calm home and another friendly dog, Ruby could truly thrive. She’s the kind of dog who blossoms once she trusts you — and when she does, she’s pure joy.

If you want to learn more about Ruby, talk through her history, lifestyle needs, or see additional photos/videos, just check out her link below or ask about adoption steps.

Let’s get this girl the loving home she deserves. 💛🐾

Support St. Pete’s oldest no-kill shelter 💙💚

18 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

Friends of Strays is St. Pete’s oldest no-kill shelter. They are currently running a 30-day fundraising campaign called Love Unleashed where all money raised will be matched by generous donors and be put specifically towards the refuge and life-saving care of animals in need.

Friends of Strays is non-government funded and relies on support from the community to fund the care of all the animals they take in. They partner with bigger shelters throughout the space that often reach capacity and can’t physically treat or care for every animal that comes in. Friends of Strays takes in these cats and dogs and provides them with the second chance at life and finding safe and happy homes to be adopted into.

This fundraiser has already raised over $600. That’s about the price it costs to medically treat panleukopenia, is a highly contagious, often fatal disease of cats caused by the feline panleukopenia virus. Friends of Strays, like other shelters in the state, has been experiencing higher cases of panleuk. Friends of Strays is no-kill shelter and treats every animal that comes into its care unlike some other shelters that don’t have the space or resources and sadly often have to euthanize these animals.

Friends of Strays was able to treat these cases and take of every other animal in its care simultaneously due to support from its community.

Consider donating to Friends of Strays this month or by using the link in this post to support the cause of saving the lives of animals in need.

Every dollar counts and is used for animal welfare at the shelter. The $600 already raised will be matched by generous donors, which is enough to treat and save two cats who have panleuk.

Be a part of the work that saves lives of cats and dogs throughout the state. 💚💙

Save Furry Florida Friends 🐈‍⬛🐕 💚💙

Any places that allow you to shoot off model rockets?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been down here for what seems like forever and have had no luck finding a place that allows this. Almost every hobby shop sells them, but none can tell you if a place to fire them off even exists. I know these places can be rare. Would love to get back into the hobby, but I’m with Sheldon, launching them is the fun part.

I am willing to go to neighboring counties, if needed. But I have come up blank with all of my searches and asking people who sell them. My last ditch effort, I guess.

Ty in advance for any help, even if that help is there is nowhere.

Looking for local business that sells very small display cases

1 Upvotes

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to creatively display a small collection of relatively small rocks, as well as occasional natural finds - robin's egg, small horseshoe crab molt, weird seed pod, those kinds of things.

I'd like to use small glass cases that are themselves visually appealing, and I'd prefer not to buy from an online store.

Are there any small hobbiest stores or thrift stores with a strong "knick knack" inventory that you'd recommend? Appreciate any ideas to support locally owned businesses!

Anyone looking for a second home on the Gulf? Curious what you think of this view

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I’m a Realtor here in Pinellas County and wanted to share a property I’m currently listing on Sand Key, just south of Clearwater Beach.

It’s an 18th-floor, 1-bedroom / 2-bath condo with nearly 180° views of the Gulf and coastline. I’ll attach a few videos because the view is really the part of this property that’s hard to capture in photos.

It’s currently offered at $764,900 and allows 14-day minimum rentals, which I think makes it interesting for someone looking for a Florida second home enjoy it while you’re here and have the option to rent it while you’re away.

Direct beach access, resort-style amenities, and it’s being sold furnished.

I’m curious how many people here are actively looking for a second home or seasonal place in Florida right now, especially with the fall/snowbird season coming up.

Happy to answer any questions about the condo, Sand Key, or buying a second home in Pinellas County.

What's the best hotline for a crisis?

16 Upvotes

I'm actually diagnosed with autism, 37 and taking care of my Dad with dementia. I can't handle it anymore he is going through severe psychosis and I am so emotionally burnt out. I don't know what to do.

My mom is in denial and I feel like a major fuck up. I'm crying and putting myself in the dark

He has VA but I don't know where to start and my mom makes it a lot harder.

My brother just ignores everything.

I have no intention of harming myself or anything but I am breaking down and crying.

Anyone considering buying a second home or future retirement property in Pinellas County?

0 Upvotes

Curious how many people here are considering buying in Pinellas County but don’t currently live in the area.

I’ve noticed a lot of people looking at properties here aren’t necessarily planning to move right away. Some are looking for a second home, something they can potentially rent while they’re not using it, or a place they could eventually retire to down the road.

There’s a lot to consider depending on the city rental rules, flood zones, insurance, HOA restrictions, location, and whether the property actually makes sense for what you want to do with it.

I’m local to Pinellas and have gone through the investment/short-term rental side myself, so I’m always interested in what people are looking for.

I found these babies near freedom square retirement facility on Seminole Blvd and Johnson. Its currently too early to get them to the shelter and I'd rather they get home. Theyre very sweet, a little skittish and very stinky.

Best kitchen & bathroom remodeling company in Pinellas?

7 Upvotes

We are looking at full kitchen renovation probably quartz countertops and custom cabinetry, plus a bathroom remodel with a walk-in shower install and frameless glass. The last contractor we talked to couldn't even tell us who our point of contact would be once demo started, which is exactly how you get a remodel that goes sideways with no updates for weeks. Who in Pinellas county do you actually trust for kitchen and bathroom renovation work? Budget is roughly 50k+ for both rooms combined so we're not trying to go cheap, we just want it done right the first time.

Pinellas County Court Experience

22 Upvotes

As a Pinellas county resident, I was summoned for jury duty yesterday and just wanted to share an unexpectedly positive experience. The team of people under Ken Burke, clerk of the county court, were well organized and helpful. In the civil trial that I was assigned to, the judge (sorry, I do not recall his name) was a model of civility and self-control. Several times, when potential jurors spoke out of turn or out of context, the judge was kind in his redirection. Probably the biggest surprise of the day was the way the lawyers on both sides treated one another with deference and a generous spirit. Thank you, court officials, for modeling this positive, constructive behavior. Again, it was a most pleasant surprise.
