Last week I had the privilege to work with some of the wonderful and well-cared for animals at Austin's own Taurus Academy. Taurus is opening a beautiful brand new location on Burnet Road which will offer their specialized daycare and boarding services as well as their incredible board-and-train program for obedience and energy management. The canine portraits from this series will be featured in the lobby at Taurus Burnet, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

My own dog, Charlie, can personally vouch for Taurus's skill in socializing dogs. When I adopted him 5 years ago, he was shy and reticent around other dogs, and on his first trip into the play yards at Taurus he skirted the edges of the yard with his hackles up. Anyone who knows Charlie can tell you how far he's come since then. His time in playday at Taurus allowed his gregarious, very dog-social personality to come out, and both he and I are forever thankful for it.

The grand opening of the new location on 4400 Burnet Road is on June 14th and anyone who RSVPs to their Grand Opening Party will be entered to win a Custom Canine Photo Session with Ryan Plunkett Photography, as well as some other great prizes.
