Since partnering with Dr. Les Sadoch in 2005, Dr. Rick happily shares the management of this busy practice and enjoys the balance of time spent at the clinic as well as time spent at home with his family.

WYATT 2006 - 2023

In Loving Memory.

Wyatt was born in 2006 and was surrendered to the clinic in 2011 because of medical concerns.  He became a well-loved ambassador with clients and staff.  His fame had extended outside the borders of the clinic and our clients often asked about him or requested to see him when they were visiting. Wyatt spent most of his time sleeping on his pink flower pillow, seemingly unaware of the activity around him. Sometimes he could be found dipping his paws in staff members' drinks or begging for fries. He was “the king” of Beaverton Crossroads.
