I recently had the pleasure of boarding my three German Shepherds at this wonderful dog kennel, and I can't praise it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the facility and the warm welcome from the owners, Don and Pam.The kennel itself was spotless, which immediately put my mind at ease about leaving my 3 rascals there. The indoor and outdoor areas were well-maintained, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could need for a comfortable stay. It was clear that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities, which is essential when caring for multiple dogs.Don and Pam were absolute gems. They greeted us with genuine warmth and took the time to get to know each of my dogs individually. Their love for animals was evident in every interaction, and it was reassuring to see how much they cared about the well-being of all the pets in their care. They were also incredibly accommodating to any special requests or instructions I had for my dogs' care.What impressed me the most was how Don and Pam handled my three German Shepherds. These dogs can be quite energetic and sometimes challenging, but the owners handled them with ease and kindness. They provided exercise, playtime, and attention, ensuring that my dogs were happy and content throughout their stay.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this dog kennel to any pet owner. The combination of a clean and well-maintained facility, friendly and caring owners like Don and Pam, and exceptional care for my German Shepherds made it a five-star experience. I wouldn't hesitate to board my dogs here again in the future, knowing they are in excellent hands.

Don and Pam are two of the most kind and compassionate humans we have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. They love people, and they LOVE dogs. Our two female Labradors are picky and have no issue letting us know how they feel. If they do not like something they either cower or hackle up their fur. But when we even pull onto the edge of the driveway for Lin Leet Kennels, they go BERSERK because they cannot wait to come to their home away from home. They love staying at the kennel and staying with Don and Pam, who live on-site and give the dogs attention through the day. They feel loved and cared for and it shows in their enthusiasm each and every time we take them for a stay. We have left our girls with Don and Pam for anywhere as short as two days all the way up to just over three weeks while we roadtripped to Minnesota...and yet, each and every time they seem bummed when it is time to come home as the LOVE being there and LOVE the attention and care they get from Don and Pam. In this day and age when it is hard to find honest, hardworking and people with high integrity who do what they say and have the decency to care about and care for their neighbor, Don and Pam are working to make this world a little more tolerable place, one dog at a time. We are proud to call them our kennel, and now after a few years of taking our dogs their, people we care deeply about personally and professionally. Would never hesitate to take our dogs there. Would never hesitate to recommend to anyone.

My dog and cat have stayed at the kennel many times over the past 15 years. They both love Don and Pam!I can travel on vacation or go to medical appointments and not have any worries about my pets. Don is very thoughtful about which dogs interact well with others.I have had to call last minute due to an emergency and Pam answered the phone friendly and with kindness. Lin Lee Kennel is a treasure to our community and I am deeply thankful!

Owners are wonderful, the facilities are well organized for the dogs, price is a bargain, and kennels are clean. It is not a luxury hotel, but it is a great kennel. Dogs that are a good match get to play in the shared yards, those that aren't still get the chance to do their business on their own time in the yard. Kennels seem a good size even for a giant breed. I hate to leave my dog at all, but feel very lucky to have this place close by so at least I know she is in good hands.

We had our Two cocker spaniels stay for one during our visit to Chief Joseph days. The owners are very friendly and you can tell they care about the dogs. The price is fantastic compared to Boise. I highly recommend them.

Although I'm moving and unable to use Lin Lee Kennels anymore, I needed to give them a stellar review. I have two labs that always hate to be left but whenever I take them there they run in tails wagging. Don and Pam are very friendly and do a great job of taking care of my dogs. I think the facilities are great and unlike some larger boarding kennels I've used, my dogs don't leave smelling like kennel or seem stressed when I pick them up. Thanks for doing a great job!

Our pup loves coming here! He can't wait to get out of the car and race inside. Henry is not the easiest guy to deal with, a super energetic terrier, and they do a good job of finding a dog pal for him to rough and tumble with. Prior 1-star review is inaccurate, i suspect a crabby neighbor who chose to live in an industrial-zoned area, so take their sour grapes with a very large grain of salt. I have no qualms about the service and care of our dog here and would recommend it without reservation.

The owners were extremely friendly and kind. We were sad to leave our girl behind while we went on our rafting trip but my worries were totally alleviated once we got there. When we picked our dog up, she had had the time of her life and was well cared for. Thank you for a wonderful addition to our trip!

We have left our pets with LinLee Kennels on numerous occasions. The owners treat YOUR fur babies like they are their own. They are on site constantly in order to keep your pets safe and happy. They are located out of town so as not to disturb neighbors when their 'guests' decide to 'visit' with each other. I highly recommend LinLee Kennels to any and all who love their 'babies', but are unable to take them on vacation or have them in their home for some reason. Great job!!!!

Our Dalmatian, Truman, had his first experience at LinLee Kennels this week. This was the best experience he's ever had at a boarding facility! Our first impression was of Don and Pam greeting Truman by name and getting a mini tour of where Truman would sleep and play with other dogs. It was so reasurring to see that he would be comfortable during his stay.A unique benefit of using LinLee Kennels is that you can visit your dog daily if you so desire. We visited Truman everyday at 5PM for a 45 minute walk. Two of the days we were able to actually spend the whole day with him at Wallowa State Park for hiking. It was great and everyday at pickup Don gave us an update of how Truman was doing. Truman made many dog friends on the days that we couldn't be there.This is a great place to board your dog if you're looking for a "home away from home" experience. We can't thank Don and Pam enough for their attentive and thoughtful care of Truman. You will not regret bringing your dog to LinLee Kennels!

I live in Joseph, and take my border collie-Aussie mix to Don and Pam four days/week for doggie day care and some social time with other dogs. He LOVES his time at LinLee, as well as Don and Pam. Leaps out of the car and runs happily into the kennel. They know and love dogs, the kennel is clean and well kept. They pay attention to each dog and their needs. An extraordinary place for dogs. Diesel gives four paws up-- he'd give five if he had them.

Owners do not live or stay on-site. Dogs left there are stressed and bark all night to the detriment of neighbors. Someone comes around 9 AM and again at 5 PM to feed and clean kennels but that is the only time any humans are there. Not someplace I would leave my pet.
