Who We Are

We started 4 Paws Forever to celebrate the life of our beloved Cole by offering custom garden stones for our friends on the Chesapeake Bay. Over the years we have been inspired by our customers to create many different items to celebrate the life of a beloved companion. They wanted something more than the mass produced items that you find on most internet sites.

At 4 Paws Forever, we believe in Ancient Traditions and the power of the Human Spirit. Mass produced items do not capture those intangible qualities. That is why all our items are handmade from 100% Natural Materials in the traditional way. Our Collar Boxes are made from natural wood one box at a time. We Design and Make every jewelry piece from Earth-friendly Silver and Gold, crafted and polished to perfection one piece at a time. All our items are a fitting tribute to the spirit and memories they represent.

We dedicate ourselves to our customers and when you purchase a 4 Paws Forever creation, you have the comfort knowing that you have helped those animals less fortunate.
