You may need 2 vehicles or an economy van to transport 6 persons and a large animal.

We drove a Chrysler Town&Country van a total of about 1200 miles last week, and the dog seemed quite content with the cargo space, and the kids were comfortable in the rear 2 rows of seats. I had to strap the suitcases to the roof, and drove through a horrible snowstorm all the way across the top of Lake Superior at night, mind you. My Lady doesn't see herself as the Minivan type though, so that is why I am asking for advice on alternatives. Personally, I loved my Honda Oddessy 2002 that I had a while back. That predates a marital breakup and the dog though - it would probably do just fine actually.
The cage is out, Crompsin. The dog is not going to be boxed. Sometimes convenience isn't enough of a reason to do something.
