A kennel refurbishment has been completed at Wigan borough's greyhound rescue centre
A major transformation has undergone a Wigan borough centre looking after a particular type of dog
A Tyldesley-based greyhound homing centre has recently refurbished its kennels.
The well established Makants centre, based on Mort Lane, has been in operation since 2013, and has successfully homed over 780 greyhounds to date.
The establishment has grown over the years to now total 21 kennels, with 14 of those kennels being refurbished last month as part of their ongoing maintenance programme.
The work involved lowering ceilings above the beds in each kennel space and fitting new, strong, wipe clean surfaces to the walls.
Siobhan Hoppley, founder of the rescue, said: “The work was needed as it is a busy kennel environment and it was three years since the last refurbishment.
“The wipe-clean wall surface has made it much easier to keep each kennel clean and lowering the ceiling certainly keeps the bed area much warmer.
“The greyhounds seem to love their refurbished kennels even if kennel hound James did think the reflection on the wall meant he was sharing his kennel with another hound!”
