LEANDER, Texas – Leander pets are in for a treat with a unique pet care experience coming to town—

Hounds Town USA, the daycare and boarding concept where everything they do is for the dogs, announced today the opening of its location in Leander on July 29. Located at 10181 E Crystal Falls Parkway, the new daycare is owned by Chris Duncan.

“After over 20 years of working in the corporate world, I wanted to make a change and enter the entrepreneurial space,” said Duncan. “Upon meeting the Hounds Town team, I knew immediately that the brand was the perfect fit for me. The brand, and team, exudes positivity, and the business model itself is something that I knew Leander would benefit from. I have always dreamed of owning a business that would allow me to make an impact on my community, and my Hounds Town location will do exactly that.”
