Join the Pack: Shagly Membership
Since 2008, my lens has been focused on one truth: The Pedigree is Personality. While my career as a commercial photographer has taken me from the Andes to Tokyo, my most important work happens right here in the heart of our local rescue community.
To date, I’ve photographed an adoptable pet for every single day I have been alive. But I’ve always known I could do more. Shagly is evolving from a photography studio into an art-driven content house. We are capturing "lost" souls and creating high-end "found" art through our Lost and Found series. By scaling our impact from helping 50 pets to helping hundreds at our live events, we aim to help a pet for every day of your life, too.
High-impact advocacy requires more than just a camera; it requires a community. Simple acts like watching our show and subscribing are huge helps, but if you have the capacity to go deeper, your membership fuels the commercial-grade filmmaking and marketing needed to prove that "un-pedigreed" animals are masterpieces. By joining, you aren't just a patron—you’re a producer of the "beautiful side" of animal welfare.
I want people to be proud of their adopted dog!

Some Charlie is a "Tangled Terrier" Airedale who believes the world is one giant laboratory. With a background in Advanced Scents-ory Perception and a self-appointed Damehood, she spends her days translating complex behavioral studies into "Barkspeak." She is "The Intrepid Explorer"—often captured mid-action with a leaf stuck to her nose, representing the tireless curiosity of the animal spirit. text here
Burt is a Great Pyrenees/Basset mix and a master of restorative peace. Once mislabeled in a shelter, he proved his loyalty by protecting his owner during an attack. Today, his docile nature makes him a legendary pet CPR demo dog. Working to help save other animals, Burt proves that his character is the only pedigree that matters.

The Duke is an English Bulldog who carries the weight of centuries in his wrinkles. He views pet history not as a series of dates, but as a lineage of loyalty. He reminds the community that dogs have been our protectors, workers, and soulmates since the dawn of time. He is regal, high-contrast, and demands respect, a true "Old Soul."
An Australian Shepherd with three honorary degrees and zero "chill," Professor Sara is the champion of the Mutt. She argues that DNA is just a blueprint, but personality is the home. She represents the "High Energy/High Intelligence" soul. She is vibrant and sharp, capturing the spark of life that makes a family want to get up and run.

Franklin is a Pug with a grumble of flat face informants longer than his leash. He knows where the best festivals are and which parks have the best treats. He represents the "Community" aspect of Shagly—the social, snort-filled joy of gathering. He is close-up, comedic yet serious, highlighting the expressive, human-like faces of our flat-faced friends.

"Ahem. Is this thing on? Good. I’m Harvey. You might know me from my extensive fieldwork in the neighborhood—specifically, Mrs. Gable’s porch, where the tuna is excellent. I’m here to collect the data. Mark talks about 'soul'; I talk about statistics. I’ve visited 42 houses this week, and I have questions. It’s time to vote, people."
