Our Story

Inspired by Angel, Eris, and Adonis—Our Faithful Companions

Abiding Paws was born out of love for Angel, our first pitbull and the heart of our journey. We adopted Angel shortly after getting married in 2008, and she quickly became so much more than a pet—she was family. Angel was the one who taught us to love and understand the pitbull breed, showing us their loyalty, love, and gentle nature despite all the negativity we’d heard.

Angel loved every adventure we shared. Whether it was riding in the car, hiking, or camping under the stars, she was always by our side, reminding us to live fully and love unconditionally. She joined us on vacations, creating memories that still bring a smile to our faces. In 2016, Angel passed away from cancer on our wedding anniversary—a heartbreaking loss that solidified her place as the inspiration for everything we do.

In 2024, we faced even more heartbreaking losses: Eris, our pitbull-beagle mix of nearly 8 years, and Adonis, our 6-month-old pitbull. Each of them brought immeasurable joy, love, and lessons to our lives, further solidifying our mission to celebrate and honor the bond between humans and their furry companions.

Abiding Paws is a tribute to their spirits—a brand rooted in faith, love, and the incredible loyalty of dogs like Angel, Eris, and Adonis. Every product we create is inspired by their memory and our shared adventures, combining our love for faith, the outdoors, and the unbreakable bond between pets and their people.

We hope our designs bring as much joy and meaning to your life as our companions brought to ours.
