Ugh, I received a puppy in from a rather well know kennel once in a crate that had me speechless. Not only had the crate seen better days, but only one of every 3 of the nuts/bolt/thingies were on and those were for the most part rusty and ill fitting. (And, YES, they wanted their crate back, which I DID do and paid a ridiculous sum of money for UPS to ship something I would have been ashamed to let my neighbors see in the trash!)
