About Us

Kenai's Keepsakes sprang forth from a profound love for our furry companions and an unyielding longing to craft cherished mementos for pet owners. It was born from the depths of Jessica W.'s heart, in loving memory of her treasured dog, Kenai, who filled her life with unwavering joy and immeasurable comfort.

Kenai was not just a pet; he was Jess's first true companion, a soul she could call her own. Rescued from a small shelter at the tender age of six months, he came with shadows of fear and anxiety that often transformed into fear aggression. But Jess's spirit was fierce; she dedicated herself to being the ideal dog mom, tirelessly searching for behavioral trainers and pouring over resources to help her beloved Kenai. For years, they navigated the challenges together, their bond growing stronger with every obstacle they faced.

Yet, as life can be both beautiful and cruel, Kenai began to show signs of neurological troubles. Jess faced the heart-wrenching decision that no pet owner ever wants to confront: she had to let go of her precious Kenai. The moment she released him from this earthly realm was the most agonizing of her life.

In the months that followed Kenai’s passing, Jess was overwhelmed by a wave of love and grief. From this depth of sorrow emerged a brilliant spark of inspiration—an idea to honor Kenai's memory by creating a small business dedicated to crafting beautiful keepsakes for pet lovers everywhere. These creations would serve as heartfelt mementos of their beloved pets, as well as memorial gifts for those who have crossed over, joining Kenai in the boundless joy of the afterlife.
