[nagdu] Portable crate

[The Pawpower Pack]

Hi Melissa, 
I have a portable crate for Soleil when we travel. You can find the one I use here. 
http://www.amazon.com/Sportpet-Open-Kennel-Large-Size/dp/B00GWSPL2Q
Soleil is a 21 inch female laband this works well for her.  A dog who is not crate trained could quickly and easily claw or chew their way out of the crate, but since your girl is already familiar with one, it should work for her! 
Let me know if you have questions.
