Fur Ball 2026 ✦ The Vintage Edition ✦ Benefiting Kerrville Pets Alive

No More Mills Portrait Studio presents

Your pet's giant face. Your Christmas portrait.

Remember those mall portraits with a second, enormous, see-through head floating in the corner? They're back for one night. Except this time the floating head is your dog.

Get my retro portrait, $75 + tax

$40 of every portrait goes straight to Kerrville Pets Alive.

A man in a teal corduroy blazer and tan turtleneck holds a smiling blue heeler and gazes into the distance while a giant, glowing version of the dog's face floats in the mottled blue and gold backdrop beside his head.
Ross, his dog, and his dog.

How it works

Questions people will definitely ask

Does my pet come to the Fur Ball?

Nope. Your pet stays home on the couch where they belong. We only need a good photo of their face.

I don't have a pet. Can I still do this?

Yes. Pick "A Kerrville Pets Alive adoptable" on the form and we'll float one of their adoptable animals behind you. Fair warning, you might end up adopting them.

What makes a good floating face photo?

Close up, looking at the camera, decent light. Skip the blurry ones taken mid-zoomie. If you're not sure, upload a few and we'll pick the best.

Can my own face be the floating one?

Absolutely. Choose "Me (yes, my own giant face)" and upload a close up of yourself. Bold move. We respect it.

When do I get my portrait?

By December 18, sent to the email you use on the form.

Is tax included?

Nope. Texas sales tax (8.25%) gets added at checkout, so it's $81.19 all in. The $40 to Kerrville Pets Alive doesn't change.

Can I get prints?

Yes. Your portrait comes in an online gallery where you can order prints, frames, and metal prints.

Who's taking the photos?

Gabe Rene LLC, the Kerrville studio that's been shooting the Fur Ball for years. Same people, much worse backdrops this time. On purpose.
