We adopted a stray dog. Our vet is an idiot. Belly button mistaken for surgical scar equals ten new puppies--an illegal number of pets, I learned from the municipal code officer. All survived, four months later we still have seven because my wife read that people feed free puppies to snakes and we only have three adult kids. Nope, I'm not joking.
Taking seven puppies to the vet is a bad deal on so many fronts I will let you imagine most of them. The last two trips, five of the seven threw up in my new car. So I'm designating my rarely used Disco II, which has a full cargo cover, as the Puppy Parlor.
Can anyone share some great ideas, preferably but not necessarily DIY, for keeping puppies (I use the term loosely; they all weigh over 30 pounds now) in the back 2/3rds of the truck with middle seats removed?
If you don't mind drilling into the headliner then there's tons of hardware that can hold it in place. They're like wire pinch straps. There's gotta be a factory gate that should work though, right? Maybe those mounts can be modified to work just past the first row

That's a great suggestion. Use a factory gate as a base for something more comprehensive.
I read that someone used shower rods with big feet on them...
I replaced my headliner once. It was expensive. I'd like to avoid chopping it until I'm ready to go full commando (no headliner, remove plastics, carpet, etc... probably a few years from now).
Use some kind of L bracket and dill a hole and mount to existing holes for seats. Get some kind of dog crate material and cut to length and mount to L braket
FYI - The "L" brackets that I have are a perfect match for the existing holes and screws in the Land Rover. They are actually for the Mighty Mule gate closing system.
You can pick them up at Home Depot in the garage door department.
The dog crate is an old one that can be cut into shape using bolt cutters and then grind down the sharp edges on the cut.
