Folding Wire Crate


Posted on May 21, 2008

When you get involved in dog rescue, whether full-time or as an on-the-side volunteer pursuit, it helps to have a collapsible crate or two on hand. Crates come in extremely handy if, say, you're fostering a puppy in need of a housebreaking refresher course - or if you need to separate a well-behaved adult rescue dog from your existing canine crew, until you're 100% certain all dogs can cohabit without a fight breaking out.  

The crate's epoxy-coated wire is easy to clean, while the rubber feet protect your floors while keeping the crate from slipping. The plastic tray at the bottom conveniently slides out for quick cleanup jobs. And when your rescue dog graduates from foster status to scoring his own permanent home, you can always just fold up the crate for easy storage - it collapses into an impressively slim package, so it can stay out of your way until the next time it's needed.

As a part-time dog rescuer myself, I speak from experience, which is why I always keep two Folding Wire Crates at home, ready to be deployed when the inevitable urgent plea for a pit bull on death row crosses my email inbox (which, sadly, is often - just last week I had two extra dogs at my place, each in her own crate).  

But don't take it from me - listen to Amanda St. John, founder of MuttShack Animal Rescue, who not only rescues dogs full-time, saving them from devastating disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, she's dedicated her entire life to this selfless endeavor. MuttShack depends on these crates to accomplish its mission - because animal rescue is quite frankly impossible without a good supply of crates.

So if you feel like it, after you've bought your own pup a crate, please consider buying one extra and donating it to MuttShack for use in its Emergency Disaster Response program. Here, for your convenience, is the address: MuttShack Animal Rescue, 15981 Yarnell St. Suite 188, Sylmar, CA 91342
