Abstract: A mobile animal shelter device forms an enclosure for containing animals therein having an open bottom which is open to the ground surface. The device is supported on wheels which are controllably driven by a controller which displaces the shelter device across the ground according to programmed conditions which can be adjusted by the operator. Various panels of the housing may be opened and closed, feed can be controllably dispensed, and various other conditions can be automatically controlled in response to prescribed criteria by the controller. A lower skirt portion about a perimeter of the opening in the bottom of the enclosure is flexible so as to vary in elevational according to ground contours.
