The Arrow Fund
Healing abused and severely neglected animals through medical care, advocacy, and education.
HEARTBREAKING INTAKE: Please help us wrap this sweet girl in gentle and enduring love and kindness, as she’s been the victim of unimaginable cruelty. This young animal has been used again and again as a bait dog to hone the fighting instinct of stronger, more aggressive dogs in a test of their violence toward her.
She was only a puppy when she was thrown into a confined area, had her toenails broken by humans so she could not even grip the floor, and used as prey for violent predators.
When this sweet girl was picked up as a “stray” and taken to Louisville Metro Animal Services, they noted that she bears deep, fresh bite wounds; older wounds that were dirty and not healing properly; her body was riddled with old bite marks and scars; and she was lethargic and only about a year old. This baby was so deeply sad.
Her eyes and scarred body reveal a harrowing tale of persistent cruelty and abuse.
Kind-hearted people saw her and rushed to be her advocates to ensure her story would end much differently than it began. They volunteered to help her and contacted The Arrow Fund for any support we could provide; they offered loving foster care for her if The Arrow Fund family could help cover her medical and rehab needs.
We said yes we would help this sweetheart, and her name became Renatta, from Latin origins, meaning “reborn” or “rebirth.” It’s a feminine name that signifies a fresh start or a new beginning.
Why was this innocent creature targeted for unimaginable violence? They used her for violence simply because she was “too gentle.” She was smaller and weaker. She has a kind heart.
Ours are breaking for her. Please help us take good care of Renatta from this day forward. We promised her that she would never face a day of violence again. We promised her gentle, loving care and a safe home to rest in. Please help us love her.
Any donations for sweet Renatta are appreciated more than you know.

Today, with heavy hearts, we share the story of baby Wally—a precious puppy whose time with us was far too short. Wally was rejected by his mom and a foster stepped in to care for him. Not long after, his tiny body began shaking in uncontrollable movements, and a veterinarian was consulted who said he may have Cerebellar Hyperplasia. The foster could care for him, but knew medical care for this sweet Labrador Retriever pup would be expensive.
The Arrow Fund was contacted for support, and we said YES, we will help with this baby’s needs. When Wally’s condition worsened, he was rushed to Metropolitan Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services.
Additional tests showed that Wally’s sodium levels were continuing to rise. An ultrasound finally revealed that this puppy was born with kidney deformities, and the medical advice was to not let him suffer any longer.
Though Wally’s journey was brief, it was filled with the gentle kindness of all who cared for him. He was loved. He was surrounded by gentle hands stroking his soft fur as he passed.
We made a promise to support Wally, and The Arrow Fund will pay any of his medical bills.
In memory of sweet Wally, would you be able to help support other vulnerable animals, so that we can continue to say yes to those who need our help most? Your contribution, no matter how small, will provide critical care, shelter, and a second chance for other innocent animals.
If you wish to contribute, please consider donating to The Arrow Fund in Wally’s name.

Though Wally’s life was brief, his legacy can live on through the kindness we extend to others. Thank you for your compassion and support. 💔

Happy National Nonprofit Day! Today, let’s take a moment to shine a light on all the organizations and wonderful people who pour their love into rescuing and fostering pets who have been through so much. Every day across Kentucky, there are animals in need—survivors of abuse and neglect and animals that will be euthanized through no fault of their own. They all wait for a gentle touch and a safe, warm place to call home.
Thanks to the tireless dedication of nonprofits, shelters, and rescue organizations in our state, some of these beautiful creatures get a second chance to feel what love truly means.
Whether you’re able to open your home to foster, consider adoption, volunteer your time, or offer a donation, every act of kindness helps transform an innocent life for the better.
Let’s celebrate the true spirit of National Nonprofit Day by lending our hearts and hands. PLEASE volunteer, foster, or support an organization that rescues abused, neglected, or unwanted pets—together, we can give so many more animals a chance for a safe and life filled with love.
If you’ve been thinking about fostering to help save a life, please reach out and we’ll answer any questions: foster@thearrowfund.org.
Every paw deserves a new beginning. Thank you for being part of this journey and for being a part of our Arrow Fund family. 🐾
P.S. Winnie and Esme thank you for the love and support you’ve shared with rescues of The Arrow Fund! With your donations, these beautiful babies are both being cared for in loving Arrow Fund foster-to-adopt homes! Winnie now has a big sister named Jolene--who is another TAF rescue! And Esme has a big sister named Presley--a rescue from the Oldham Co. Humane Society!
