Yander hit the nail squarely on the head - post #2. A shelter that protects the animal from the wind and driven snow. LOTS of straw. Check it weekly and eliminate any that may be damp. Replace eliminated straw with fresh, dry straw.
If its an inside dog - for God's sake keep it inside. If it's an outside dog - I would seriously NOT provide any type of heat within the shelter. If it will be bitter cold - bring the dog inside.
A heated shelter for an outside dog can cause them to loose their winter coat. This is not good. At the very least - it can lead to a case of pneumonia.
