"Needing a block of 30 kennels rather urgently due to the closure of boarding kennels used for our rescue dogs, we approached Benchmark Kennels after researching numerous kennel suppliers. Benchmark designed the perfect solution for us, with two blocks of 15 kennels and a central covered corridor. Everything was built to our requirements, including extra doors and windows, and pulley system hatches. Delivery and installation were timely, and the team on site were totally professional throughout the kennel build. The whole process went relatively smoothly within the short timescale we gave them, and German Shepherd Rescue Elite would totally recommend Benchmark Kennels going forward."

Helping German Shepherd Rescue Elite Expand Capacity for 30 More Dogs

Before: An ageing collection of makeshift kennels with limited capacity, poor insulation and facilities that no longer met the charity's needs.

Challenge: The rescue urgently needed a larger, more efficient kennel system that improved dog welfare, reduced heating costs and could be delivered within a tight timeframe.

Solution: Benchmark designed and installed two bespoke blocks of fifteen insulated WPC kennels, connected by a central covered corridor and tailored with additional doors, windows and pulley hatch systems.

Result:

  • Capacity increased to accommodate more rescue dogs
  • Improved comfort with insulated WPC construction for year-round temperature control
  • Better welfare through modern, purpose-built accommodation
  • More efficient day-to-day operation for staff and volunteers
  • Professionally installed and operational within the required timescale
