I have always been a huge animal lover, and my pets have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. FurEver Keepsakes grew out of that love, specifically from one very special dog named Keno.

Keno was a big, beautiful white Shepherd mix with a wonderful coat—and he had a lot of it! After Keno passed away, I wanted to find a meaningful way to keep a little piece of him with me. I learned how to spin his fur into yarn, and in doing so, discovered something that would eventually become a passion and a business.

That was 14 years ago, and I've been spinning dog fur ever since.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of turning the fur of hundreds of beloved pets into meaningful keepsakes. Every project is different because every pet is different. Behind each bundle of fur is a story, a relationship, and a lifetime of memories, and I feel incredibly fortunate that people trust me to help preserve a small part of that connection.

Before starting FurEver Keepsakes, I spent 16 years working as a veterinary technician. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the special bond between people and their animals. I saw firsthand just how much our pets mean to us. Not simply as companions, but as family members who become woven into the fabric of our everyday lives.

Today, I live on an acreage with my Maremma Sheepdog, four cats, and four horses. I've also shared my life with another wonderful large mixed-breed dog, Lexie, who came after Keno. Needless to say, there is never a shortage of fur around here!

I understand how much sentimental value can be attached to something as simple as a handful of fur. Whether you're preserving the memory of a pet who has passed, celebrating a beloved companion who is still by your side, or simply looking for a unique way to keep a little piece of them close, I treat every project with care and respect.

Each FurEver Keepsake is made by hand, with the goal of creating something beautiful that carries a very special meaning.

Thank you for trusting me with a little piece of your family.
