Meet the Owner
Hello! My name is Claudia, and I’m many things—a teacher, musician, creator, artist, author, designer, and, above all, an animal rescuer.
My passion for supporting and protecting animals in need has been a guiding force in my life, leading me to create Knotty Paws. This company allows me to turn creativity into action, providing essential support to animals who need it most and giving a voice to the voiceless. Every item crafted here is a piece of that journey, dedicated to making a difference. Thank you for being part of our mission!

Why We Must Help Animals in Need -
Animals give us so much—love, companionship, and joy—yet so many are left without basic care, shelter, and safety. Helping animals in need goes beyond kindness; it’s an essential responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves. These animals, abandoned or struggling on the streets, often face hunger, illness, and isolation. Many suffer in silence, unable to seek help or voice their pain. By stepping in, we offer them the chance at a life filled with care and compassion, where they are loved and protected. It’s not just about food or shelter; it’s about giving animals dignity, health, and hope. Each act of support, from rescuing a stray to providing medical care, contributes to a larger mission of creating a world where animals are valued and respected. When we help animals, we remind ourselves of the power of compassion and the bond we share with all living beings. Together, we can be the voice they lack, the kindness they deserve, and the hope they need. Animals need us—and with every effort, big or small, we can make their world a safer, kinder place.

Our Story - How Knotty Paws Began
Knotty Paws started with a simple yet heartfelt mission: to support a community of animals in need. With a shelter housing 30 dogs and 31 cats—and many more street dogs needing food, medical care, and shelter—we wanted to create something that could make a real difference. From these goals, our idea for paracord collars, bracelets, and accessories blossomed. Each item we create not only adds style to you and your pets but also contributes to providing essential care and support to our furry friends. Thank you for joining us on this journey to make the world a bit brighter for animals in need!
