Family Business Since 1968

Henry III and Judy Sader originally stablished wilderness kennels in 1968. The first kennel was a building only having 20 kennels of indoor outdoor runs on property 7 miles south of Lincoln. Now Wilderness Kennels can hold 102 individual dog with approximately half the kennels being indoor outdoor and the other half indoor, with heated and climate control kennels available.

"Highly recommend for training. I have a very stubborn dog and requested they work with her on walking on a leash and the drop it command. She came back a month later and was much better."

Ann Shelton Jacobson

"I cannot say enough good things about Wilderness kennels and the staff there. I dropped off 2 uncontrollable puppies to be obedient trained and got back to puppies I don't recognize. They are so well behaved! I couldn't be more grateful for how well they were taken care of while in their care. Thank you for treating my fur babies with so much love and compassion. I highly recommend using them!!!"

"Can’t say enough good things about Wilderness Kennels. I have a very large dog who is not friendly towards males. They were very professional and comforting - female staff even coming in to take care of her when they weren’t scheduled. Having never kenneled my giant baby before I was very nervous. I called to check in her and they gave me a full honest update. I know if I ever need to kennel her again, there is no doubt I will pick Wilderness Kennels. Thank you for providing quality care and a very reasonable price!"
