Cost is definitely an issue here:)Bobbie wrote:There are wheelchair lifts for stairs that could be easily adapted for a dog- the issue is cost, though.

Garage door openers ain't all that much, and you'd probably just need the base model to slide a chow up the stairs. Just build your cheapo ramp next to the wall and nail/screw a rim on the outside edge of it to keep the box from jumping off the ramp. Heck, you could even use the remote to operate it, and walk up the stairs beside the box as your dog is pulled up.
