Default XL Crate needed for terminally ill dog

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Love The Villages community. Mike has generously loaned us an extra large crate and play yard so that Fitz can be comfortable.
Thank you for all the messages of support.

Original Message
My dog Fitz (age 15 1/2) has only a short time left in his battle with cancer. I would like to borrow an extra large crate. My current crate is 42" long by 28" wide by 31" high. He cannot stand up and move around in it. I will put his bedding in the crate and totally clean and disinfect it when the time comes. The vet thinks he only has a week left, I hope she is wrong! I am staying with him as much as I can, but he needs to be confined at night and when we are not home. If you can loan me a crate please call Carolyn at 703
408 1042. Thank you in advance for your concern.

I am so sorry for you. I had my husband measure our crate but, unfortunately, it is way too small. Sorry we couldn't help out.

So sorry for what you are having to go through. Our pets bring us great joy. I only wish they could live as long as we do.

I measured our crate too but it's the same size as your crate.
I'm so sorry for what you and Fitz are going through, and I wish you good luck in your search.
