The passionate team behind "The Adventures of Shelby & Ruby" — where real-life pet chaos meets creative storytelling.
Katrina Nestel is the creative force behind "The Adventures of Shelby & Ruby." As a marketer in training with a deep love for her two dogs, she saw an opportunity to turn the hilarious, sometimes gross, always lovable dynamics between Shelby and Ruby into something the world could enjoy.
From developing the original concept to crafting dual marketing strategies for both family-friendly and adult audiences, Katrina has driven every aspect of this project with passion, creativity, and a healthy sense of humor about her dogs' antics.
The one who started it all. Shelby is a stocky English Bulldog with a talent for farting at the worst possible moments, puking on clean carpets, and bullying her sister Ruby off the couch. She's gross, she's loud, and she's unapologetically herself — which is exactly what makes her a star.
Ruby is a beautiful blue-grey Pit Bull with a white chest patch and the patience of a saint. She endures Shelby's reign of chaos with grace, occasionally fighting back but mostly just looking at the camera with an expression that says 'Can you believe this?' She's the heart and soul of the show.
It started with Shelby farting on Ruby's head for the hundredth time. Kat thought, 'This is too funny not to share with the world.'
What if these two chaotic dogs could star in their own animated series? Not just one version — but two: one for kids, one for adults who appreciate the unfiltered truth.
Armed with marketing knowledge, creative tools, and an endless supply of dog stories, Kat set out to build a dual-strategy IP that could reach every audience.
Whether you're an investor, partner, or just a fan of chaotic dogs — we'd love to connect.
