“No matter how little money and how few possessions you own, having a dog makes you rich.” - author Louis Sabin
Riley & Anthony the week Riley was adopted by Anthony (or should we say Riley really adopted Anthony) up in Middletown, Rhode Island at The Potter League for Animals in April 2012.
About Us
Riley & Co. was founded on a simple belief: every dog deserves love, and every community deserves to experience the joy dogs bring into our lives.
In April 2012, I adopted Riley from the Potter League for Animals in Rhode Island. He was originally from South Carolina and needed a second chance. What I didn’t know then was how completely he would change my life.
For nearly 15 years, Riley and I have shared countless adventures—exploring dog-friendly hotels, neighborhoods, and coastal towns up and down the East Coast. He became my best friend, my constant companion, and the inspiration behind everything we do.
Today, we have returned to Riley’s home state of South Carolina, where we proudly call Charleston home.
A Charleston Company With a Purpose
Riley & Co. creates premium, American-made dog treats that help banks and credit unions make every branch feel warmer and more memorable—for customers and their dogs.
A simple treat can spark a smile, begin a conversation, and strengthen a branch’s connection to its community. And every bag reaches beyond the branch: 50% of Riley & Co. profits support animal shelters and animal-welfare organizations serving the communities of our partner banks and credit unions—helping more animals receive care and find loving homes.
A Simple and Flexible Program
Each bag of Riley & Co. premium dog treats is $20, with shipping included.
There is no minimum opening order. Each branch can order the number of bags it needs and receive them through convenient automatic monthly delivery. Orders can be increased, reduced, paused, or canceled at any time—with no cancellation fees or penalties.
Every participating branch also receives a complimentary customizable treat display. If a branch needs additional displays, we are happy to provide them at no additional charge.
Riley & Co. will select a local animal shelter or animal-welfare organization for each participating community. If your bank or credit union would prefer to support a different qualified organization, we will be happy to work with the organization you select.
Helping Animals Find Homes
Participating branches may also choose to feature an adoptable dog or cat from a supported local organization.
The optional adoptable-pet card clips directly to the Riley & Co. display and includes the animal’s photograph and a QR code that customers can scan to learn more. Your institution chooses whether to participate and which branches opt in.
It is a simple way to introduce an animal in need to hundreds of people who may never have seen that animal otherwise—and perhaps help create a forever home.
Transparency Matters
Riley & Co. is fully insured and maintains all applicable feed registrations.
Our charitable contributions are documented through quarterly reporting overseen by Anthony V. Ricci, CPA, Inc. Reports are provided to participating bank and credit-union executives so they can clearly see the impact their institution is helping create.
Why Banks and Credit Unions?
We chose to work with banks and credit unions because community banking has always been about more than transactions. It is about relationships, familiarity, trust, and making people feel genuinely welcome.
When your bank or credit union works with Riley & Co., you are doing more than offering a dog treat. You are creating a memorable customer experience, supporting animals in need, and strengthening your connection to the communities you serve.
From our hearts to yours—and to theirs—thank you for helping us spread joy, one treat at a time.
Born in Charleston. Made in America. Giving Back to the Communities We Serve.
