My son had to move out of town and asked if I could care for his dog until he was able to take her with him. I needed a kennel but didn’t want an ugly cage sitting in my living room. This is the perfect solution. She watched as my husband and I put it together and went inside as soon as we finished. She loves it! I didn’t use the divider. It’s the perfect size for Bella who is a 44 pound pitbull.
