Abstract: An improved indoor/outdoor doghouse having the improved connection of a top portion and a base portion of an animal housing using press-fit attachment members. Two types of press-fit attachment pairs are described with a first member of each pair being integral with the base portion and a second member of each pair being integral with the top portion. Another aspect of the present invention employs interior staking to secure the animal shelter to the ground. This feature employs a stake through an opening in an interior floor surface. In yet another aspect of the present invention, a floor channel is employed with a raised portion of the floor to hold water introduced by a wet animal occupying the shelter. The channel can be formed in any portion of the floor, or, alternatively, can follow a path between one or more walls of the enclosure and the raised portion. The present invention employs a louvered vent in a wall of the shelter to improve ventilation, but avoid the entry of rain therethrough.
