In 2002 our incredible journey began with the founding of 4 Paws Forever. We started with the simple premise that our pets are like family and that they should be treated as such when they cross over to the Rainbow Bridge. At the time, there were limited ways to honor a beloved pet that had passed. So, we started to sell custom memorial stones via mail order through a network of veterinarian practices and soon after that began offering them online. We were the first mainstream company to plant trees in honor of our pets as a living memorial. In the mid 2000’s we began to offer pet memorial jewelry and by 2008 we started creating jewelry from your pet’s actual paw print. That’s when we realized something amazing. Everyone who had their pet’s paw made into a custom jewelry piece absolutely loved it but more importantly was the feeling of a reconnection with their lost pet. To our surprise, this happened more often than it didn’t in every custom paw piece we made. The next few years we were creating custom paw print pieces for those who’s pets have passed but in the last few years all sorts of pet lovers from all over the planet have been creating one-of a-kind jewelry pieces from their pet’s actual paw print while they're still with them.
Currently we operate out of Northern Nevada near beautiful Lake Tahoe with a focus on designing and creating the finest custom jewelry for animal lovers. We have on average four jewelers working on custom pieces for our customers some with over 20 years of experience. We use the traditional methods of craftsmanship in everything we create. The same methods that have been used for thousands of years with a little high tech added for good measure. We pride ourselves on the quality of craftsmanship and attention for our customers. We answer any question the customer may have and make sure they are happy with the paw print to be casted into a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. Of the thousands of custom paw print jewelry we created, not a single customer was dissatisfied nor returned their piece. See our product reviews to see what our customers are saying. Let us see what we can create for you!

In addition to a clear focus on quality in our products, it is also incredibly important for us to give back. 4 Paws Forever regularly makes donations to privately funded no-kill humane shelters and rescue organizations across the country. For specific gift purchases, we also plant trees in our National forests exclusively in honor of our beloved pets.
