We have HAPPY ADOPTION NEWS! Lini was adopted by a WONDERFUL family who have been long-time supporters and adopters of Arrow Fund rescues! This is the last of Mama Shepherd’s 8 pups to be officially adopted, and Lini could not have found a more loving home!

Lini (originally “Linguini”) came to The Arrow Fund last fall with his severely emaciated mama Shepherd. The mama Shepherd had been abandoned to starve and left to fend for herself and her 8 puppies.

Lini, who began that rescue journey with a seizure on the way to receive help (after he ate something toxic in a desperate attempt to find food), now has a healthy, loving, and wonderful life ahead of him with his adoptive family!

This long-legged pup is growing up to be a handsome dog who looks like his mama, and has his very own human girl named Lizzie to love for the rest of his life. Lizzie simply adores him, and you can see their special bond in the photos. Lini also has a big Shepherd sister, named Dani (Danica), who is an 11-year-old Arrow Fund rescue.

“Lini is the sweetest little cuddle bug. He can play all day with Lizzie in the backyard, but also loves to take a good nap, too. He has become ‘Daddy’s best friend’ and co-pilot in the truck,” wrote Lini’s adopter. “He has even gotten his older sister, Dani, to play again! He also likes to be in the kitchen helping Mom cook and clean up. He is ready for our annual summer road trip to a big farm in New Hampshire! We love him so much!”

Our generous and loving Arrow Fund supporters make this kind of love story possible. We could not have said yes to the emergency rescue of a desperate and starved mama Shepherd and her EIGHT puppies without our amazing fosters and donors. YOU made this love story possible!

Thank you ALL, and CONGRATULATIONS to Lini and his loving adoptive family!!
❤️❤️❤️

THUNDER LOVES PEOPLE: This super dog just went for his checkup at the vet, and is doing so well with love and care! His vet gave him a light sedative so they could examine Thunder’s legs through X-rays without any strain on his previously broken bones, and Thunder’s scans revealed that his bones are mending well! His vet thinks Thunder is about halfway healed now.

Thunder is the sweet-eyed dog who captured hearts across Kentucky after we learned he was thrown off a bridge by some cruel human in the middle of raging storms across the Commonwealth. We want to let you know that from day one, this good-natured dog has shown only love, gratitude, and gentleness toward humans and other animals. We cannot imagine how ANYONE could be mean to Thunder, let alone unimaginably heartless and cruel.

Thunder has been healing, eating well, snuggling, and resting with his amazing Arrow Fund foster who loves this dog and wants us to find him the very best forever home. Are you interested in making Thunder part of your family?

This sweet boy has lots of love to give, big puppy dog eyes to make your heart swell, and plenty of charm to spare. He still has some healing to do and needs a neuter surgery before he’s cleared by the vet for an official adoption, but if you’re interested, please fill out our adoption form so we have your interest in him!
