From the shelter to the sofa: your rescue's storybook
Celebrate the day they found their family with a tale starring them.
Every rescue has a story
Adopting a pet is the start of a new chapter for both of you. A PawTale storybook makes your rescue dog, cat, or other pet the hero of an illustrated tale, made from your photo.
Great for gotcha days
Mark the anniversary of the day they came home. See our birthday and gotcha day storybook for more ideas.

A book can include up to 10 pets and people, with one photo each. Include the humans and pets who welcomed them.
Digital, with an option to print
An online tale, a PDF, and print-ready pages from $9.95. Printed books are ordered through Shutterfly.
Questions
- Can I make a storybook about my adopted pet?
- Yes. Upload one photo and your rescue becomes the hero of an illustrated story.
- Can the story be about their adoption?
- There isn't a dedicated adoption theme yet. Pick one of our ready-made tales (for example Wild West, Under the Sea or Among the Stars), add names and a few details, and your pet is the hero.
- Does it work for rescue cats and other pets?
- Yes. PawTale is built to keep each pet true to its own species, so a cat stays a cat and a dog stays a dog.
- How much does a PawTale storybook cost?
- Plans start at $9.95, one payment, no subscription: Stills 12 $9.95, Clip 12 $12.95, Stills 24 $19.95, Clips 24 $24.95. Every book is digital: an online tale, a PDF, and print-ready pages. If you want a printed book, you can order one through Shutterfly using the print-ready pages.
- Can I see the book before I buy?
- Yes. The free preview paints the first 3 pages, starting with the cover, so you can see how your pet looks before you buy.
- Is this a good gift for someone who just adopted?
- Yes. It's a personal way to welcome their new family member. Give a Gift a Tale certificate so they can add their own photos, or order a printed copy through Shutterfly.
