Congrats, you have lots of time to get ready!!
I think for Peanut, he liked the crate the best- he felt safe in there. I read that dog’s like “den” type places to go especially when they are alone. I have a big crate, maybe could fit a 25 pound dog in there. I put his pad on one side, bed on the other with blanket, food, toys and my Pj shirt. I also bought a water bottle for hamsters and hung it on the crate- gave him more room and I didn't have to worry about him spilling the water. Peanut is 6 and he still loves his crate.
I think it is also good to crate train your dog, make sure they are comfortable in a crate.
