An animal shelter, comprising:

• a plurality of discrete, detachably interconnecting side panels adapted to form at least a partial enclosure;
• a covering for sheltering the enclosure;
• and
• a plurality of bowed support members adapted at either end to detachably connect to and extend upward from the side panels to support the covering and maintain the covering in a selected position over the enclosure, the side panels, covering, and support members being modular and conveniently detachable from each other for convenient disassembly, transport, and subsequent reassembly of the animal shelter.

An animal shelter, comprising:

• a plurality of prefabricated, discrete, detachably interconnected side panels forming at least a partial enclosure, each side panel comprising a plurality of substantially vertical posts supporting a plurality of rails disposed substantially transverse to the posts, the side panels being supported in a vertical disposition through the interconnecting of the side panels, such that the side panels are self-supporting without being anchored to the ground;
• a covering formed substantially of a foldable material, the covering extending over the enclosure and being detachably connected to the side panels for sheltering the enclosure;
• and
• a plurality of elongated, bowed support members spanning the enclosure and supporting the covering, either end of each of the bowed support members being detachably connected with an insert fit to a separate one of the opposing side panels in order to support the covering over the enclosure, and wherein the side panels, covering, and support members are modular and conveniently detachable from each other such that the animal shelter is adapted for convenient disassembly, transport, and subsequent reassembly.
