Housing for woofers
I believe the answer is:
kennels
'woofers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kennels that I've seen before include "Dog houses" , "Homes for dogs" , "Doghouses" , "Shelters for animals" .)
