Most of our dogs are crated in wire crates, but some have used plastic crates.  In most cases, unless recommeded by your foster caregiver, either is fine.

Wire crates come in many sizes.  Find the one that best fits for your dogs size/weight:

5-15 pound dog: 24" Crate

20-30 pound dog: 30/32" Crate

40-60 pounds: 36" Crate

60-90 pounds: 42" Crate

90+ pounds: 48" Crate

Plastic crates can sometime be a bit more of a challenge to size for your dog.  Here are some basic recommendations.

5-15 pound dog:  23 x 15.2 x 11.8  Medium Size Crate

20-30 pound dog: 32 x 22.5 x 24 inches (Large)

40-60 pounds: 40 x 27 x 15 inches (X-Large)

60-90 pounds:  48 x 32 x 35 inches (XX-Large)

90+ pounds: 48 x 32 x 35 inches (XX-Large)
