Peteys Playground

Petey’s Playground is a foster-based pet rescue serving seniors in the Yarnell-Peeples Valley area – Congress, North Ranch, Yarnell, Peeples Valley, Kirkland, Wilhoit, Skull Valley, and the rural areas in between. In 2012 we launched Petey’s Playground with a goal of helping seniors preserve their relationships with their pets. We focused on providing temporary care or housing for pets whose owners had a medical emergency. But it turns out that we are doing much more. We are improving the quality of life for seniors and their pets through placement, training, and assessment. We help seniors who want a pet to find the appropriate companion animal for them. We address behavioral issues that affect the relationship between people and their pets. And we continue to provide short-term care in medical emergencies, including placement of pets in new homes if the owner’s health will not allow him or her to return to the previous living situation. ​As always, there is no charge for our services. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organization financed by private donations. We want to help animals – and you. That’s our mission and we wanted to share it with you.
