For the first time in my life, I got a wire crate when we adopted Shiloh. This was the first time I would have two dogs together and I wanted her to be safe when I wasn't home, until I knew for sure that Killi would accept her unconditionally. Great Pyr rescue required my parents to have one for their adopted Bandit, so I loaned her mine. Now I need one for my new foster, when I get him/her.
