I was looking for one for the house for her to sleep in at night and also to stay in during the day while we are at work. I have four cats that do roam the house, but basically have the dining room and breakfast rooms as "their spots". The dogs (the two I have currently) have their crate in our bedroom and then when home have the run of the house.
With the new dog coming home, I am contemplating getting a gate to block off the kitchen (not the breakfast room as that's where food and water are) in an effort to limit the new dog to the living room, entry foyer, and breakfast area; until I'm sure of her housebreaking and get her used to going outside with the other dogs at potty times (or better yet to scratch the door when she needs to go like my sheltie/terrier does).
They had a 24x12x13 crate for $60 at the shelter that sells used items. However the shelter also runs a thrift store down the road at their old location and I found a (looks to be) 38x18 wire crate for the same price. I figured for the same price, give her more room to sprawl out. |
