NEEDED IMMEDIATELY!

Large wire dog crates

Since we only have 3 conventional dog Kennels, 4 x 8 foot, we have to crate all other dogs that can't be left loose at night. We are crating the 2 pups that arrived recently, and we have plenty of outdoor pens for exercise during the day. but need crates to house the dogs overnight. We need the large size, wire ones, not the plastic airline type. They need to be dimensional to keep medium to large size dogs.
36"L x 22.5"W x 25"H or 42"L x 28"W X 30"H.
