About the Inn

Welcome to Kip's White Dog Inn LLC!  

On August 30th,  2019, the Burden family took ownership of the former Manogue Road Kennels.  JoLynn purchased the facility from Cindy Busch who owned it for over 20 years.  This site has been a dog boarding facility for over 43 years, but 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!

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  or Evansville).  The Inn is a live-on premise facility, allowing for around-the-clock care and 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 family member making their stay comfortable and enjoyable. 

Facility

The Inn has 3 temperature-controlled kennel buildings with 17 indoor kennels that each have their own access to an individualized outdoor run through a doggy door.  All kennels have insulated dog doors separating indoor/outdoor runs.  K9Grass artificial turf is located in all potty 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 for over 40 years (Beloit, Janesville & Milton).  She has 2 adult children who you will see on property helping out with property management, grooming and the care of all of our canine/feline friends.  Booker & Callie both attended Milton High School.  Their family has been a foster home for Paddy's Paws Rescue & Albert's Dog Lounge for over 7 years where they have welcomed over 150 foster dogs through their home on their journey to an adoptive home.  JoLynn has had 3 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.  Their current dog, Kiplee, is a volunteer therapy dog. 


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!


JoLynn has been a supporter of  Gunnar's Wheels Foundation, an organization founded to assist with the mobility of disabled, injured or senior animals.  In early  2021, she also extended her professional involvement by joining the Board of Directors for 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 and non-profit organizational work.  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 'rare' form of cancer.  Unfortunately, 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
