ABSTRACT:
A portable kennel houses pets that are left in a vehicle on a sunny day. Pets left in vehicles are normally susceptible to heat exhaustion. The disclosed apparatus overcomes this problem without requiring that the vehicle air conditioning system be left on and without jeopardizing the security of the vehicle. One embodiment of the invention comprises a portable enclosure that is sized and adapted to hold a pet, and constructed to prevent unrestricted ingress of air into the enclosure from the outside thereof (such as from the hot passenger compartment of the vehicle in which the kennel may be positioned). The kennel further includes a system for providing cool air to the interior of the enclosure. The system is designed to be operable even when the vehicle engine is turned off and may comprise, for example, one or more Peltier effect devices powered by the vehicle battery or an auxiliary battery.
