When you hear the name Tito’s, your first thought is probably of vodka. But the Austin-based brand prides itself on another identity as well: loving dogs.
In the early days of the distillery, employees often cared for stray dogs. Before long, the mission to rescue pups became a core part of the vodka company’s ethos — to date, Tito’s has been involved in rescuing more than 120 animals.
Now, the Tito’s dogs are being recognized in a free exhibit at the Long Center for the Performing Arts.
The collection, aptly called “Impressions of Tito’s Distillery Dogs Over 25 Years,” includes portraits from local artists like Tom Jean Webb, Raine Lipscher, and Hope Perkins.
The installation will be up until Wednesday, Jan. 4. To learn more about Tito’s efforts to transport dogs to safe homes across the country and how dogs join distillery employees as “co-woofers” in Austin offices, click here.
