I believe the answer is:

restyling

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'changes in remodelling animal shelter for example' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'making' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'making' could be 'styling' (styling is a kind of making) and 'styling' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 're' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for restyling that I've seen is " Creating new image".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
