Yes, I had a rescue here that really hated the crate.  If I left him alone 
inside crated, the crate pan would be full of drool when I returned.  I 
could put him in the car crate and leave him for hours and he was fine. 
He also was quite nervous about being kennelled. Over time he 
adjusted to both and realized it was not the end of the world to be 
contained. Luckily I had him during the winter months, so being crated in 
the car was okay.  I'd take him to work and then let him exercise at 
noon. He was happy in the van while I was at work.
