AUSTIN, Texas - A longtime Austin shelter dog is getting his time in the spotlight.
Tajin, an 8-year-old dog from the Austin Animal Center, will play a role in Zilker Theatre Productions' version of Legally Blonde the Musical.
Tajin has been waiting for more than three years to find a home after he was found tied up in a yard without food or water.
The 60-pound dog will play the role of Rufus in Legally Blonde on select nights.

The Austin Animal Center says his role in the play is a "testament to his resilience and charm."
The shelter says that Tajin is best suited for a home with a well-matched dog or cat without young children.
Legally Blonde the Musical performances will be held through August 17 at the Beverly S. Sheffield Zilker Hillside Theater.
Admission is free.
