ABOUT THE INN
Welcome to Kip's White Dog Inn LLC!
The Nelson Burden family took ownership of the former Manogue Road Kennels on August 30th, 2019. JoLynn & her kids purchased the facility from Cindy Busch, who owned it for over 20 years. This site has been a dog boarding facility for over 45 years, and has seen lots of updates and changes since then!
JoLynn and her family are carrying on the tradition of personalized, knowledgeable care for your 4-legged family members. Kip's White Dog Inn has expanded their service offering to accommodate all of your pet service needs! We welcome you to the Inn and our website...we hope you find it full of information to help you choose the right facility for your dog's & cat's care! Although our site may be full of photos of our personal favorite breed, the Golden Retriever, please know we provide care for ALL breeds/mix breeds & size dogs. View our photo gallery at the end to see some of our great clients AND follow us on social media!
PROPERTY
Kip's White Dog Inn is located on a secluded and spacious 5 acre property just outside of the city of Milton (a few miles from Janesville, Newville, Edgerton, Fort Atkinson, Whitewater or Evansville). The Inn is a live-on premise facility, allowing for around-the-clock supervision during your pet's stay. We are a family-owned medium-size facility which allows us to provide personalized care and individual attention to your precious furry family member making their stay comfortable and enjoyable.
FACILITY
The Inn has 3 separate kennel buildings that are each temperature-controlled for year-round care. The facility has 17 indoor kennels plus day-boarding kennels. K9Grass artificial turf is located in all play areas providing a clean and safe potty environment for your dog. A large, outdoor fenced-in exercise area is available to stretch their legs, test their sniffer or play ball! An on-site security system is in place for the safety of our guests. Tours are available by appointment ONLY.
ABOUT THE OWNERS
JoLynn has lived in the Rock County area most of her life (Beloit, Janesville & Milton). She has 2 adult children who you will see on property assisting with property management, grooming and the care of all of our canine/feline friends. Booker & Callie both attended Milton High School, have a passion for animal care and now enjoy working together in the family business. The Burden family has been a foster home for Paddy's Paws Rescue & Albert's Dog Lounge for over 8 years where they have welcomed over 170 foster dogs through their home on their journey to an adoptive home. JoLynn has had 4 trained therapy dogs and spent countless hours volunteering with them at schools, nursing homes and hospitals. She and her daughter are both certified in Pet CPR & First Aid. Two of their current dogs, Kiplee & Honey, are volunteer therapy dogs and have enjoyed visiting residents at Milton Senior Living and Oak Park Place Memory Care.
Their fur crew includes a handful of their beloved golden retrievers and a special-needs dog named Rex who you can follow on social media (FB/Instagram) at 'Rex is Amazing'. Rex joined their family all the way from Houston, TX and was adopted through Paddy's Paws Rescue & Lola's Lucky Day! He was highlighted twice in People Magazine as the 2018 World's Cutest Rescue Dog Contest Runner Up (from over 10,000 applicants)!
JoLynn has been a supporter of Gunnar's Wheels Foundation, an organization founded to assist with the mobility of disabled, injured or senior animals. She also has volunteered her time & expertise by being a Board of Directors member with the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin.
Owning a small business was not always in her dreams, but finding a pathway to working with animals has always been in her heart. JoLynn has extensive professional background in management, community development, leadership, strategic planning, marketing and non-profit organizational work. Before opening the White Dog Inn, she most recently was employed as the Vice President of Development for Forward Janesville and ARISENow, a downtown development initiative.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME...
Many have asked...so here it is!
Kip, an English Cream Golden Retriever, blessed our home & touched our lives for 32 months. We all have stories of that "perfect" dog...and for us, it was our Kip. From early on, we knew he was special. Flying through multiple training courses with ease and at the age of 1 year and 1 day, he became a certified Therapy Dog through Therapy Dogs International. He routinely brightened the day for residents at senior living facilities, youth programs, hospitals and area schools. He was a monthly guest at Huntington Place Senior Living in Janesville where he visited with residents and had fabulous friends in the alzheimer’s wing who would smile ear to ear after his visits. In 2011, we lost him after a quick, but intense health battle. He had the best care at UW Veterinary Hospital where they removed one of his lungs due to a mass growth. During recovery, the vets referred to him as a "miracle dog" as he fought for his life & conquered the odds against what the vets called a very mysterious, possibly 'extremely rare' form of cancer. Unfortunately, 3 months after surgery the mass returned & at 2.5 years old his fight would end. He was our "perfect" dog and I have always known that one day, he would be honored.
The White Dog Inn is a nod to him & all of the "perfect" dogs in your homes.
"Everyone thinks they have the best dog.
And none of them are wrong." - W.R Purche
