Peoples Rx has been compounding for our four-legged and feathered friends since 1985. It is by no mistake that we are well staffed with animal-lovers; more than half of the compounded prescriptions we make are for animals!

As a local business, we are proud of our Austin community and the many animal organizations it supports. In the past we have worked with rescue organizations to provide discounted compounded prescriptions for their animals, but this year we want to do even more!

Peoples is proud to announce our PetsRx program! We will donate one dollar to one of three local animal organizations for each animal prescription we compound. This is how it works: Bones generated from dog prescriptions will be donated to Texas Hearing & Service Dogs, the kitty from the cat prescriptions will go to Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary and exotic animal prescription revenue will go to the Austin Zoo & Sanctuary!

Help us fetch a bunch of money for these animal organizations! Have your pet’s prescription compounded at any of our four locations and we’ll take care of the rest.

Texas Hearing & Service Dogs

Texas Hearing and Service Dogs trains dogs to assist Texans living with hearing or mobility challenges. We adopt every dog in our program from an animal shelter, rescue group or occasional owner release. Thanks to your donations, we provide the dogs and training free of charge.

Hearing Dogs alert their deaf partners by touch and lead them to a variety of important everyday sounds. Service Dogs assist physically challenged individuals by opening doors and refrigerators, fetching out of reach wheelchairs, retrieving dropped items, turning lights on and off, getting help and moving paralyzed limbs. They also perform customized tasks such as assistance with clothing and specialized equipment. We also train Service Dogs to assist persons with balance while walking, e.g. people who have had polio, strokes or Parkinson's. Hearing and Service Dogs also provide emotional and social benefits through companionship and encouragement of greater interaction from others.

Thundering Paws – A program of Central Texas Animal Sanctuary

The mission of Central Texas Animal Sanctuary (CTAS) is to offer a safe haven for animals of all kinds, with an emphasis on domestic animals, who are homeless, neglected, injured or abused.  Our goal is to respect animals as individual beings with spirits who deserve the right to live a happy and healthy life, regardless of their attitude toward humans and human contact.

Austin Zoo & Sanctuary

Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary is a rescue zoo. Over 90% of our residents have been rescued from unfortunate circumstances. Our residents range from former circus animals, monkeys who have spent their entire lives in laboratory research centers, to exotic birds and animals kept inappropriately as pets. We provide sanctuary for these animals so they may live out their days in relative happiness and comfort.

We often say, "In a perfect world, Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary would not exist," but unfortunately, we see almost daily requests to take in animals with no other place to go.  In addition to providing safe shelter and care for these animals, our goal is to educate the public on nature conservation and animal welfare.
