Meet Don and Prati Kaufman , the new proud owners of New Inn Kennels, a cherished family-run business that has been a part of our community since 1976. As the fifth owners, they are committed to upholding the kennel's reputation for providing excellent care for pets.
Don, a dedicated veteran with a lifelong love for dogs, brings his passion for animals to every aspect of the kennel. Prati, with her expertise in running a successful marketing agency, adds a fresh perspective and dynamic energy to the team.
Together, they are excited to continue the legacy of New Inn Kennels, offering a loving and safe environment for your furry family members.
Located in a beautiful country setting, we take care of dogs and cats while their owners are out of town, getting work done on the home, or even having guests visiting who can’t be around the animals. Our climate controlled boarding facility for dogs has 66 runs, most of which are 4’x18′. Whether your dog likes on leash walks, playing with friends in the daycare setting, or one on one time with the staff, your dog can have a great experience at New Inn Kennels. The separate cat room has 6 condos, each with two levels.
We offer full-service grooming to outside clients as well as to our boarding and daycare dogs. Whether you would like your dog to get the works or a simple freshening up after their stay with us, our highly-trained and experienced groomers have your covered. Our grooming salon offers full-service grooming ranging from breed cuts, shave downs, bath and trims, medicated baths, ear cleaning, and nail care. To ensure the best results for our dogs we have partnered with “Nature’s Specialties” brand shampoos and conditioners. They provide various specialty products for your dog’s needs. Our groomer will be happy to recommend the right choice for you and your pooch.
For those who have dogs that like to play with other dogs, we have a super fun doggy daycare in a natural setting with rocks to climb, sandboxes, pools in the warm weather, and plenty of balls, rope toys, frisbees, and we play games for mental stimulation as well.
Each of the daycare attendants are certified in Knowing Dogs 101 and 201, an online and practical training program on both dog language and group play. These courses include much information such as:
New Inn Kennels and the owner’s property were built in 1977 by a gentleman named Tom Neuin which is where the name New Inn Kennels came from. The property was eventually sold to Sonny and Bunny Fusco.
Sunny and Bunny moved here from New Jersey and took New Inn Kennels to a whole new level in 1996 when they added a second building, the office, grooming room, and cat room. Once they were ready to retire, they sold it to Ken and Judy Grohbrugge.
Ken and Judy Grohbrugge, who worked extremely hard upgrading the kennels as well as the service, cleanliness of the kennel buildings and care of the dogs. The business grew tremendously during their tenure here as word got out what a clean, safe and happy environment was provided for the pets in their care. Judy and Ken retired in 2017.
When Judy and Ken retired in 2017, we purchased this gem in the country. While we strive to continue to give the same superior care to all of the dogs and cats who stay with us, we have also taken it a step further by adding doggy daycare to our list of services.
