Crates, crates and more crates! There is such a desperate need for crates at shelters, rescues and other animal organizations. Crates are expensive and are often a luxury for these establishments, while they focus their financial resources on shelter and food for pets in need.

Crates are used to hold animals before and after surgery to ensure they heal after surgery. A crate also keeps a healing animal protected from other pets that might play too rough with them. Before surgery, being in a crate can help calm the furry friend down, while limiting movement so they don't make an injury worse. Crates are also used to provide a space to hold pets as they await to be spayed or neutered.

Shelters and rescues also will loan out crates to pet foster parents who will watch over an animal until they find their forever home. This allows them to live comfortable in a home and not at a noisy shelter as they wait. The crate provides a place where they cuddle in and get cozy and can call a safe place. For many pets, a crate helps with the transition from place to place and helps them acclimate to each new environment. In foster homes, it can also help with crate training so the pet is ready when they move on to their forever home.

Some crates will will be used on Good Flights to transport pets from shelter to shelter so they have a better chance of finding their forever home. In some cases crates will be used on Good Flights to help pets, with no owners, to escape natural disasters.

There are so many invaluable uses for crates! They can even expand sheltering capacity, create temporary animal shelters, and assist families in containing their pets if they are displaced because of a disaster.
