Some of the best dogs in the world don't fit on a breed list. Mixed-breed and rescue dogs come with their own unrepeatable combination of ears, markings and expressions, and often with a story you love telling. You don't need to know what's in the mix to get a portrait that's unmistakably them.
Because our portraits are made from your photo rather than a breed template, every quirk carries through: the one ear that flops, the freckle on the nose, the brindle patch shaped vaguely like Ohio. The key is a photo that shows those details clearly: sharp, well lit and at their eye level. Then pick a style that matches their personality, whether that's dignified, goofy, gentle or bold. And a gotcha day is a lovely excuse for a portrait.

Photo tips for your dog
01Show what makes them unique
Make sure the photo clearly shows their most distinctive features, whether that's a split face, mismatched eyes or one upright ear.02Use a recent, sharp photo
Shelter listing photos are often small and dim. A fresh photo at home in daylight gives far more detail.03Try a few styles
Mixes can surprise you. Previews are free, so try a classic, a graphic and a soft style and see which one feels like them.

Rescue portrait questions
More answers in the FAQ.
Do I need to know my dog's breed?
Not at all. The portrait is based entirely on your photo, so it follows your dog's actual face, ears and markings. No breed label required.
Is a portrait a good gotcha-day gift?
It's a lovely one. Many families celebrate the anniversary of adopting their dog, and a portrait marks the day in a way that lasts. You can send a Gift Reveal the moment you order and have the print follow.
Which portrait style suits a mixed-breed dog?
We'd start with Oil: One-of-a-kind markings, set down in bold, confident paint. Watercolor is a close second: Soft and forgiving, lovely for any coat and any story. You can try every style with your own photo and pick the one that looks most like your dog.
