Our Story
Behind the doggies & dye is me - Alesha. After fourteen years in the restaurant industry and finishing my degree, I knew I needed a change. I wanted to build my career doing something that not only brought me happiness but also brought happiness to those around me.
While contemplating my next move I found myself at a breaking point and decided to focus on bettering my mental health. During a group session one day I was listening to a woman express her own anguish. She felt she too had hit her breaking point and one day got into her car and drove around for hours. In the end she felt as if she had finally found clarity.
For me, gas prices were too high to drive around looking for my clarity, so instead I turned to art and unleashed my pent-up energy and uncertainty with creativity. Not only did I feel better, but friends and family were amazed at what I was accomplishing.
I made a decision that day to abandon my comfort zone and financial security to pursue a dream I didn’t even know I had. I began focusing on activities that kept me sane, made me happy, and helped pay the bills. With the unwavering support of my partner, Josh, countless loved ones, and my main man Bear, I finally found my purpose in dogs and dyes.
And that’s how BearPaw Custom Creations came to be.
I decided to customize my life and create more happiness within.
With every BearPaw Purchase you make you are helping make my dream possible. Thank you for helping me bring happiness and color to the world - one paw step at a time.
Let customers speak for us
Haven’t received my second order. The first one was a medium but what I would consider a small to extra small so went with the XXL this time for a 62 pound dog and hoping it fits. They tye die job is very cute 😊
Excellent quality dog carrier bag! The colors are great! I have bought other items from Bear Paw from dog clothes to people clothes, all very artistically done and DO NOT SHRINK
My dog love the ball and the Grateful Dead!
Just beautiful! Alesha was a joy to work with and turnaround was crazy quick!!
I've bought many items, dog leash,dog shirt to people pants and tees. Great quality and wonderful designs!
This is an excellent quality shirt and looks great on!! I also love the longer length, as many shirts end up looking like crop tops on our pup. I initially did not look at the sizing chart, my bad, but it fit my friends, pup perfectly, and I gladly bought one size up for our pup. The customer service is excellent, and the shipping is lightning fast! Highly recommend!!
What a talented artist! Absolutely love what you created for me! Thanks for accommodating and shipping so quickly, so I could recieve for Valentine’s Day! I’ll be ordering more in the future 💕 I definitely recommend for your dye creations! What a sweet seller who is such a wonderful creator 💜💜💜
absolutely love the Bandanas great colors and graphics 🥰
I highly recommend purchasing literally anything Alesha has to offer! She went above and beyond to design matching ice-dyed shirts for my new puppy and I. It’s very obvious that she takes pride in her work and is more concerned about you being 100% in love with your purchase, rather than being concerned about making a buck. You can just feel the heart and soul that goes into each piece she creates🖤 I was so pleased with the t-shirts that she made custom just for us, that I had to buy one of her beautiful tapestries, as well. All in all, 20/10 stars- highly, HIGHLY recommend!! I will most certainly be back for future purchases ☺️
