Needs to be a minimum of 80 sq ft. May need to be even bigger if you plan on keeping very large breeds or if it's going to be their only shelter.
No reason you can't use pallet wood and the primary lumber. Don't forget about ventilation.

There are 2 ways to go about it. Deconstruct the pallets and build to design or start lashing pallets together and wrap it with chicken wire , hardware cloth or deer fencing. I built my firewood corral this way.

You will want a base of 2 pallets tall because the underlying one gets a lot of weathering. I just used 4inch screws to put it all together. You can use small pieces to reinforce the corners.

I know of someone that built a 50 foot barn out of pallets.
