Wheeled animal carrier

A wheeled portable animal carrier comprising:

• an enclosure including a bottom base, a top wall, first and second end walls, and rear and front walls, to define an interior volume;
• said bottom base including opposed interior and exterior surfaces, and wheels externally projecting from said exterior surface for moving the animal carrier along a surface;
• at least one of said walls including an area formed of mesh material for providing ventilation to the interior of the enclosure;
• at least one of said walls including a selectively openable closure means for providing a sufficiently large and manually sealable opening for the insertion and removal of an animal from within said interior volume;
• a carrier strap connectable to said enclosure and extending above said top wall a sufficient extent for manual carrying of the portable animal carrier above the surface;
• a pull strap connectable to said front wall for manual pulling of the animal carrier along the surface, whereby the animal carrier can be selectively moved between a first operating condition in which it is manually carried above the surface by said carrier strap;
• and a second operative condition in which it is manually pulled along the surface by said pull strap;
• said enclosure and wheels being formed of sound cushioning materials to minimize the transmission of vibration and noise from said wheels to said interior volume when said animal carrier is in said second operative condition.
