They aren't designed to be stacked but they both are big. Both are inside dogs.
The story is that we had our beagle for 2 years and we were fine, but then a 3 month stray (the lab, Yes! She was a stray.) showed up on our yard and we kept her.
One is this one in MEDIUM. for my beagle that is 30 lbs

The other one is this one in the Largest size. For my 6 month lab/mix that is 50 lbs

If i cannot stack them does anyone have any suggestions? I rather work with what i have and not have to purchase stackable kennels.
Keep in mind my house is small. They only go into the kennels to sleep at night, and when we run errands that will take less than 4 hours.

Don't they're too unstable and the top one could fall off. I can only see this working if both were attached to the walls next to them. I.e. both are in a corner. The bottom one is bolted to the floor and both are bolted to the wall behind and to the side.
The floor can be skipped if its an apartment. To bolt them to the wall locate the studs in the walls. Run at least two bolts into both the rear and side wall for each crate. I.e. 8 total or 4 per crate. Each bolt goes into a wall stud. Each bolt has a fender washer inside the crate just under the bolt head. These bolts are 1/4 inch by 2" long minimum.
Pre drill with a 3/8's inch drill bit and use a wrench to screw in the bolts. Don't forget those fender washers. Any hardware store can sell you both items and the wrench as well as a stud finder.
If the rear wall does not have two studs you can use the wall board. Ask at the hardware store how to safely seat a bolt into a wall board. Special bolts are needed but still use the fender washers.

Answer
Walmart has small plastic crates. They cost about $20. The wire ones are more.
Garage sales and thrift stores might have a crate for $5-10.
As your dog is going to stay small, get a crate that will be suitable for her when she is full grown. One for a 10lb dog will work. If you go too big, she will use part of it to potty and it will make house breaking harder.
