I just read the post maybe there's hope......it mentioned that their local store is running out of some items. I just had a flashback to something I "heard, read or saw". I can not remember where it comes from and obviously...use sense (it's not meant for an ie. German Shepard). If you have a pet that you need to 'cage' for transport.....take 2 laundry baskets. Place (somehow get) the pet into the bottom one. Invert the 2 nd basket and place it on top of the first one. Secure the two together (ie. cable ties, zip ties, rope etc.).

Hope this helps someone.
