I needed a kennel for inside the house for situations that came up. it's light enough for me to handle, easy to set up, has a divider if you need to separate 2 smaller pets. i work with rescues off and on and this can be used for several situations, even for adoption days. my main goal was to be able to my 60 pound dog inside my house, during storms, where there are dog hating/terrified cats. if you have a dog hell bent on getting out, pay more for heavier gauge wire.
