Big dogs eat. If you can't afford food for the kid, or yourself,

She definitely wasn't free. $238 adoption fee, $15 for a licence, $250
for a crate big enough for her, plus a Halty, bowls, rope tug, bag of
food... BUT: Free vet checkup on Friday, and 6 weeks of pet health
insurance for accident and illness.

Wow - it's no wonder animals sit in adoption centers for so long with
adoption fees that high.

As for the crate... what self respecting woodworker would not have built his
own? Out of Ipe, or someother suitably nice wood for a new doggie, domino
joinery (good reason to call Leon and order a new Domino...), and a
handrubbed finish, of course.
