Our Story

I'm John, a dog owner, problem solver, and the founder of Togo & Stark.

The idea started with my own dogs. Togo is a Siberian husky with plenty of opinions, and Stark is a beagle who is mostly a nose with a dog attached. Like most pet owners, I had hundreds of photos of them on my phone, but nothing on my walls that really felt like them.

I wanted portraits that captured their personalities and still looked beautiful in my home. When I finally hung their portraits in the hallway, I felt something I wasn't expecting. Seeing them every day made those ordinary moments feel a little more special.

That feeling became Togo & Stark.

We create thoughtfully designed pet portraits that celebrate the animals who make our homes feel like home. More than decoration, each portrait is a reminder of the bond you share and a piece you'll be happy to see every day.

If we can help bring that feeling into your home, then we've done what we set out to do.

Founder

Where we print

A print network, not a warehouse

We print through a network of production partners in more than 30 countries, so a portrait is made near the person it is going to instead of travelling across the world to get there.

30+
countries with production hubs
85%
of orders made in the country they are delivered to
39
production hubs across the US and Canada

Most portraits are made in the country they are delivered to, so yours has a short journey to make rather than a long one.
