What is a crate?
Wire kennels or plastic crates are used to contain pets. The cost ranges from between $60 and $120 and can be purchased at most pet stores. Some rescues prefer the openness of a wire kennel; others like the den-like atmosphere of a plastic crate. The kennel or crate should be very large so that the rescue has plenty of room. The wire kennel collapses for storage and takes up less space than the plastic crate. Dogs usually crate train (learn not to pee or poop in the crate) fairly quickly.
