Hello! I wanted to post here and see if anyone needs a dog crate? Nothing is wrong with it, I just don’t need it. It hasn’t even been used just took it out of the box. Free to whoever would like it!😊

I agree rescues are amazing and I have one, but my first dog is being trained as a working dog and progress is slow, so I’m getting this second Doberman from a breeder to continue working-dog training with a K9 trainer adopting wasn’t an option.
