A plurality of panels (24) preferably made from a heat insulating material define an enclosure for a pet shelter (10). One of the panels (24) has an opening (28) for the pet to enter or exit the enclosure. The panels (24) are disposed on a base member (14). Detents (31) on the panels (24) are removably disposed in detents (24) in the base member (14) to position the panels (24) in a particular relationship on the base member (14). The panels (24) may be tilted inwardly to dispose the ends of adjacent pairs of the panels (24) in a contiguous relationship. After being tilted, the panels (24) are joined by locking rails (32), each engaging the contiguous ends of a different pair of adjacent panels (24) and each removable to disengage the panels (24). A top cap (42) on the panels (24) defines a roof for the enclosure. When the panels (24) are separate, detents (31) on the top cap (42) are removably coupled to detents (31) on the panels (24), with the panels (24) tilted, to position the top cap (42) on the panels (24), thereby providing for easy assembly on, or disassembly from, the panels (24). The top cap (42) has an opening (50) to receive a vent cap (44). Whether the flaps are integral or separate, the vent cap (44) is slidable in the opening (50) in the top cap (42) to adjust the size of a passage through which air circulates into and out of the enclosure.
