Our Mission

We created 4 Paws Forever to celebrate the life our beloved Cole by offering custom garden stones for our friends on the Chesapeake. The money raised helped support private shelters and humane societies find homes for animals that do not have the love and support from someone like you. Today, we offer many different products to celebrate the life of a beloved companion. When you purchase a 4 Paws Forever creation, you have the comfort knowing that you have helped those animals less fortunate. Please visit and help support our benefactors.

Karen Smith
Founder

In 1981, we saw a little white pup being pushed out of a car near the University of San Francisco. We rescued the little pup and named him Cole since we found him on Cole Street. He was with us for many years and shared many memories. In 1992, Cole retired to live with his Grandma Alice and Grandpa Fred until he passed in 1996. He still is in our memories and lives in our heart.
