Birmingham Dogs Home has embarked on a £4.1 million refurbishment of its Wolverhampton centre in order to transform the facility and improve the experience and welfare of the dogs in its care.
The centre is now closed as the refurbishment takes place and is set to relaunch in summer 2027 as Wolverhampton Dogs Home. The redevelopment represents one of the charity’s largest investments since its inception in 1892 and will modernise the facility through improved operational flow, an enhanced visitor experience and a safer and calmer kennel environment.
Sally Insley, head of income generation at Birmingham Dogs Home, said: “We have cared for thousands of stray, abandoned and relinquished dogs over the years, and we know every dog deserves the best possible care.
“We’re so grateful to our generous supporters who have made this investment possible. This redevelopment will enable us to give vulnerable dogs the very best chance of a brighter future and ensure that Wolverhampton Dogs Home is equipped to meet growing demand, deliver the highest standards of welfare for the most vulnerable dogs across Wolverhampton and the Black Country for generations to come.
“We look forward to commencing with the construction works later this month and to sharing our exciting plans for the centre with our supporters.”
