A combined climate-controlled kennel supporting enclosure and carrying kennel for providing a safe and comfortable environment for an animal during transport procedures may include a carrying kennel to safeguard an animal therein and a supporting enclosure. The enclosure may include a body and cavity centrally formed therein. The body further may include a base member to maintain the carrying kennel elevated above a ground surface. A plurality of storage compartments may be housed within an uppermost region of the cavity. Each storage compartment may be independently toggled between open and closed positions while the carrying kennel remains statically nested within the cavity. Further, a mechanism may be included for automatically regulating a real-time internal air temperature level within the cavity. The mechanism may operate such that the real-time internal air temperature level may be constantly maintained within a predetermined and safe temperature range during transport procedures.

What is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. A combined climate-controlled kennel supporting enclosure and carrying kennel for providing a safe and comfortable environment for an animal during extended transport procedures, said combined climate-controlled kennel supporting enclosure and carrying kennel comprising:a carrying kennel adapted to receive and safeguard an animal therein;a kennel supporting enclosure including a hollow body provided with a cavity centrally formed therein, said cavity being suitably sized and shaped such that said carrying kennel is removably seated within said cavity during extended transport procedures, said body further including a base member attached to an open bottom end of said cavity and thereby maintaining said carrying kennel elevated above a ground surface, said body further comprising a plurality of storage compartments housed within an uppermost region of said cavity; andmeans for automatically regulating a real-time internal air temperature level within said cavity such that said real-time internal air temperature level is constantly maintained within a predetermined and safe temperature range during extended transport procedures;wherein said automatic internal air temperature level regulating means further comprisesa first grill positioned at a first wall of said body for permitting ambient air to freely ingress and egress said cavity;a power-actuated rotary fan mounted to said first grill;a user interface communicatively coupled to said rotary fan, said user interface generating and transmitting an input signal to said rotary fan upon receiving a user input; anda power source communicatively coupled to said rotary fan in such a manner that said rotary fan is automatically toggled between operating and non-operating modes upon receiving a corresponding one of said input signal;wherein said automatic internal air temperature level regulating means comprises:a first sensor positioned inside said cavity and further being positioned adjacent to said carrying kennel, said first sensor detecting said real-time internal air temperature level inside said cavity;a second sensor positioned exterior of said cavity and further being positioned adjacent to said rotary fan, said second sensor detecting a real-time external air temperature level outside said cavity;wherein each of said first and second sensors generates a true input signal when said real-time internal and external air temperature levels are within said predetermined and safe temperature range respectively;wherein each of said first and second sensors generates a false input signal when said real-time internal and external air temperature levels are outside said predetermined and safe temperature range respectively.
