Riley

beach blue brett-and-ry paw
2010 – 2024

Riley was our baby for over 13 years. When we adopted her, she was terrified of noises, humans, pretty much everything. It was our sense that she was abused for the first year of her life. However, through lots of patience and unending amounts of love, we showed her that the world was not so scary and that it is good to be a "Hagadog"!
Brett and I are completely broken for now, but we know that we gave her the best life, the best medical care (thank you Dr. Yasso, Dr. Rosenkrantz, and Dr. Fieg), the best homemade human-grade food, daily walks, a basket full of toys, and all kisses and cuddles one dog could handle.
Some of you kind-hearted people who know the pain of losing a four-legged friend may want to send flowers, condolences, or similar after reading this. However, our preference, and if you are moved to do so, is a $5 donation to our favorite charity, Best Friends. Thank you, Tracey

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.
Leave Your Remembrance
Sending lots of love during these difficult times.🙏🏽🙏🏽

While I did not know the pleasure of knowing Riley, I know how much of a huge animal lover you are, Tracey.
Our fur babies hold such a special place in our hearts, and it sounds like Riley had the best dog life ever with you and family. May the memories of the joy, love, and companionship Riley brought into your life bring you some comfort and peace.

I've been lucky enough in my many visits to Hagadorn Hill to enjoy spending time with Riley and Bentley. So sorry to hear about the loss of Riley. She was such a sweet girl and I love how excited she would be when I entered the front door. Sweet dreams, Riley.

Riley had the sweetest and most loving personality that will always be remembered. I will miss her presence in the office. I'm so sorry for your loss. Big hugs to you and Brett.

I only knew Riley for a short few months, but I'll always remember her as Ben's calm and collected older sister. I haven't interacted with big dogs as much and her comforting demeanor made it easier for me to adjust. I hope everyone that knew Riley keeps her most beautiful memories with them forever.
