Clover is still looking for her forever family to love! Do you have space in your heart and home for this pretty girl with the expressive eyes?
This young dog (about a year old) was once hit and turned away while she was in excruitating pain, but her hip has healed and she's looking for a family play with, cuddle up to, and love for the rest of her days.
Her foster wrote, “Clover is very happy and sweet. She loves to snuggle, and follow us around, no matter where we go around the house. She loves to be outside, and has a great time going on walks. She loves chew toys, and is very gentle with soft toys. She’s cutely mischievous, and very curious. She is a really sweet girl with a lot of energy who would make a great pet for a family. She loves kids and other dogs.”
Please reach out to us at Adoption@TheArrowFund.org to ask about Clover.
To make her part of your pack, please fill out our adoption application!

PLEASE NOTE: A generous donor has taken care of Clover's adoption fee, so apply today to take this sweet pup home soon!

UPDATE ON LAUNEY: He was turned away with no claws to fend for himself; had ears so full of mites that he couldn’t hear well anymore; has broken, jagged teeth and painful mouth lesions from stomatitis; starved for so long that his body had whittled down to just four pounds; and while trying so desperately to just exist on his own, he was shot by some heartless person who thought no more of him than a worthless target.
This gentle, old cat has seen some things. He’s endured so much over his decade of life, carried the buckshot in his body that cruelty aimed at him, and somehow fought to survive so that he could find love in a human’s arms again.
We are relieved and so glad to let you know that after his recent hospital stay for some acute, bloody vomiting and diarrhea, Mr. Launey is back on his feet, feeling much better, gaining weight, and home again with his loving foster.
“We’re absolutely smitten with him, and just desperate to make him comfortable,” his foster wrote. “It’s so hard to see what a sweet cat he still is despite the cruelty he’s faced. He loves to lay on my chest for purrs and cuddles. If I forget to pet him for too long, he will reach his little paw out and tap my cheeks as a reminder! Thank you again to everyone who has donated.”
Now that Launey's health has stabilized, he has an appointment at Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Service to have his painful, jagged teeth removed so that his mouth may begin to heal well, allowing him to eat without pain and live out his years in much better comfort.
We appreciate our wonderful Arrow Fund family for your support of Launey, and for your affirmation that this old cat’s life matters, no matter what unimaginable neglect and abuse he’s endured. You’ve helped make it possible for Launey to live with love and good care now.
We thank you most humbly for your support of gentle Launey. ❤️🩹

ANSERA PUPPY UPDATE: The 7-month-old pup whose back was broken in a fit of rage by some cruel person, has improved so much with one week of prednisone (anti-inflammatory) medication. Ansera is demonstrating more and more with each passing day that all she’s ever wanted is to be loved, petted, snuggled, and fed. In only a week, Ansera’s amazing foster “mom,” Katie, has shown this recently abused puppy what it really feels like to be cared for deeply.
Ansera seems to be remarkably bright and sweetly tender, and has shown gratitude in the form of kisses and body snuggles for her good care. She gently took nuggets with a very soft mouth from the small hand of Katie’s young son, who remarked to his mom that Ansera is “a very good girl.”
We are THRILLED to see her progress under the prescribed care and meds from our friends at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, and our hearts swell each day to see this pup improve under the encouragement and love of her foster family.
This puppy had been literally broken under the rage of one human, and is beginning to blossom under the tender, loving care of another.
We want to take this moment to say THANK YOU to Katie, Ansera’s foster, and to say THANK YOU to each and every amazing Arrow Fund foster who has allowed us to say YES to saving an animal that has suffered from abuse or extreme neglect.
YOU can make the difference between life or death for so many innocent animals. Animal fosters are angels on earth. We send love and extreme gratitude to each of you.
Note: If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart or home to foster an animal, now is the time. Our Kentucky shelters are overflowing and underfunded. Innocent animals across the state will be euthanized through no fault of their own.
Please help us save more beautiful animals like sweet Ansera. PLEASE reach out to volunteer for Louisville Metro Animal Services, where Ansera was taken, and please reach out to foster@thearrowfund.org to help us transform the lives of animal victims.
