Im looking for a good, cheap dog crate for my puppy. It needs to be at least 36" long. Where are some good cheap places to get dog crates?
Ive tried amazon, ebay, petsmart, petco, and my local stores. Any other ideas?
Links would be helpful.

We got ours from Wal-Mart and its great. Heavy duty plastic with a stainless steel door. Its huge. We put our lab on there when its stormy (it calms her down) and you could easily fit a great Dane in there. I dont remember it costing more than $50

Is there such thing as an industrial strength dog crate?

I posted a question a couple of weeks ago asking what crate would be best for my separation anxiety ridden dog who BENT HER WAY out of her metal crate while I was at work. The question specifically pertained to durable plastic crates (like the airline approved ones) but now wonder whether that would be the best way to contain her. Some people mentioned an "industrial strength crate", but theres no link even close to it when I Google it. She got out of those black metal ones (for a 50 pound dog, she is surprisingly strong when she wants something done). Is there one even more harcore than that?
Im getting desperate. She is currently tethered to the couch leg while I find a solution for the poor thing, but I do get tired of cleaning up after she soils the carpet in her anxious state.
I need something that will keep her (and my carpets!) safe from harm. It needs to be, essentially, indestructible. Is there such a crate? Does a miracle like that exist?
Oregano - OUCH! That price is painful. Of course, if thats all that will work, thats all that will work...
Isis - How lucky are YOU? Wish people would leave that crap lying around our roads, ha.
hooptidoo2 - She is spayed, and about 1.5 years of age. I got her about 5 months ago from a local no kill shelter, so have no idea of her past. She is a hound mix.
The "gradually building up time apart" is a good thought and I did that with her the first couple of months - but she never had an issue with 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, even an hour...she almost seems to instinctively realize when shes being tethered (or crated, as it used to be) for 30 minutes or 6-8 hours. Its eerie. Its a great idea and I continue to work in that way, but she seems to recognize that Im coming back shortly. Or maybe she just doesnt have enough time to do the damage she does when left for longer, I dont know.
