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!
Make It Personal with Custom Collars
At Knotty Paws, we believe every furry friend deserves a collar as unique as they are! That’s why we offer both pre-made
designs and customizable options to create the perfect look for your pet.
Choose Your Colors, Additions & More
Love a specific color combo, or want to add a little sparkle? You can select from a variety of vibrant colors, unique additions, and even jewelry options to create a one-of-a-kind collar that reflects your pet’s personality. We’re here to bring your vision to life, whether it’s bold, bright, or bohemian!
Custom Orders Made Easy
Custom orders are always welcome, and we’re happy to work with you to craft something special. When ordering, please include your pet’s neck size, leaving just enough room for comfort—about two fingers between the collar and their neck—to ensure a secure yet comfy fit.

Why Paracord?
At Knotty Paws, we believe in choosing materials that are both durable and stylish—just like our furry friends!
Here’s why paracord is our top choice for collars, leashes, and accessories:
1. Strength & Durability
Paracord is made from the same material used in parachutes, so it's incredibly strong! Each cord can hold up to 550 pounds of weight, making it perfect for even the most adventurous and playful pets. It’s designed to last, which means a Knotty Paws collar can handle anything from daily walks to muddy hikes!
2. Safety First
Because paracord is highly resistant to mold, mildew, and rotting, it’s a safe choice for all weather conditions. Whether it’s rain, snow, or sunshine, our collars stay in top shape, keeping your pet comfortable and safe no matter the environment.
3. Comfortable & Lightweight
Unlike some bulky materials, paracord is lightweight, making it comfortable for pets to wear all day. Plus, it’s soft and flexible, so it moves with your pet instead of restricting them.
4. Bright, Fun Colors
We love vibrant colors, and paracord delivers! With options from bold purples to playful oranges, our collars don’t just look great—they make a statement. Bright colors keep your pet stylish and even make them easier to spot at a distance.
5. A Versatile Material for Unique Designs
Paracord’s versatility allows us to create unique patterns and designs, adding a touch of handmade quality to each collar. This makes each Knotty Paws product as unique as the animal who wears it, celebrating their personality and your love for them!
Every Knotty Paws purchase supports animals in need, so you’re not only choosing quality andsafety for your pet but also giving back
to our four-legged friends. Paracord is the best of all worlds—strength, style, and support for a greater cause. 🐾
