Custom Dog Pin

A custom dog pin turns an authorized pet photo, drawing, logo, or original character into a wearable portrait for a gift, rescue group, club, or shop. The designs shown above include a golden retriever in a shield, a full-body dachshund above a bone banner, and retriever, border collie, pug, and rescue-style portrait badges. Use these examples as inspiration, or send your own artwork or idea for a fully custom design.

Choose a head-and-shoulders portrait when facial markings and expression matter most, or a full-body outline when long ears, body shape, tail, and stance identify the dog. A short name or group message can sit on a banner without covering the portrait.

• Photo reference: Choose a clear, well-lit image that shows the front or intended angle. Mark the essential ears, muzzle, eye color, coat patches, collar, or expression instead of expecting every strand of fur to appear.
• Drawing or logo: Supply the highest-quality authorized file available and identify any elements that must remain unchanged. The proof will show how outlines, color areas, and small details translate at the listed size.

• A shield or round badge gives a head portrait, paw accents, and a short club or rescue name a stable frame. Keep extra leaves, bones, hearts, or stars secondary to the face.
• A full-body shape suits a dog whose long body, upright ears, curled tail, or stance is distinctive. Review thin legs, collar tags, tail gaps, and the banner connection before approving the cut line.

• Personal or memorial gifts can use one respectful portrait with a short name or date. Longer remembrance text is usually clearer on a backing card than on the pin face.
• Rescue groups, clubs, groomers, and shops can pair original dog artwork with authorized wording for volunteers, fundraising, staff wear, or merchandise. List each design and package separately in the quote request.

1. Send the clearest dog photo, artwork, logo, or sketch with exact wording, quantity, preferred size, destination, and required date.
2. Review the quote and proposed portrait or full-body layout, including separate designs, finishes, backings, and packaging.
3. Review the animal features, layout, wording, colors, and selected options in your digital proof, and request any changes before approval.
4. Approve the final artwork and specification before production, and retain the approved version for reorders or coordinated gift sets.

Can you make the pin from a dog photo?

Yes. A clear photo can guide a simplified portrait, but the finished artwork uses readable shapes and color areas rather than reproducing every photographic detail.

Should I choose a head portrait or full-body shape?

Use a head portrait when facial markings and expression matter most. Choose a full-body shape when the dog's body length, stance, ears, or tail is the strongest identifier.

Can a name, date, or short message be added?

Yes, when it remains legible at the selected size. Keep the pin wording brief and place longer memorial, rescue, or contact information on the backing card.

Can our rescue group or dog club use its logo?

Yes, if you provide artwork and wording you are authorized to reproduce. The proof should be checked for exact organization spelling, logo proportions, and color separation.

Can I order fewer than 25 pieces?

Smaller runs may be available at a higher unit price. Depending on the artwork and production setup, a $90–$150 setup fee may be added to the quote.
