Small Dog Crate Appraisal

Collapsible Metal Wire Dog Crate

This is a standard, medium-to-large sized collapsible wire dog kennel or crate, constructed from heavy-gauge steel wire with a black e-coat or powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance. The design features a rectangular grid pattern with vertical and horizontal bars welded at intersection points. It includes a removable, leak-proof black plastic (composite) bottom tray, also known as a pan, which fits into the base to provide a solid floor for the animal. The crate is designed with a front-loading door secured by manual sliding bolt latches. There is visible surface oxidation and rust appearing at the weld points and along the bottom rails, indicating significant use or exposure to moisture. The structural integrity remains intact, though the finish shows wear consistent with long-term utility. The crate is currently housing a brindle-colored canine wearing a green nylon tactical-style harness. No manufacturer branding is immediately visible, but the design is typical of mass-produced pet supplies from the early 21st century.
