Little PATTY is healthy, full of lots of love, and ready for her new family!!

“She’s so sweet and loving. She’s the most amazing lap cat and the best crochet buddy out there. She’s always trying to help me get my yarn untangled! 😂 She absolutely loves being brushed, and will head butt you for all the pets and love you’ll provide. She has an amazing personality, loves catnip toys, cuddling, and food. She can do no wrong!” her Arrow Fund foster said.

Her Arrow Fund foster has fallen in love with Patty, but cannot keep this precious little cat who has charmed everyone who meets her.

Patty almost starved to death before she was rescued by a caring person who got her to The Arrow Fund. She was found with a horrific wound to her mouth and nose and was down to skin and bones. Her body had no more to give.

For months, she fought so hard to survive, outside and suffering greatly. We knew we had to help her.

With medical intervention through your support and loving foster care, she has made a truly miraculous recovery.

Our hearts swell to see this sweet kitty now. Patty is a shining example of how animals who have suffered so much can go on to recover with great care, and live to find love once more.

Do you have love and a home to offer sweet Patty?

Please apply to adopt her and give her the amazing life that she’s always dreamed of:

We have wonderful news!! Baxter has a new family to love and care for him—look at his smile!!

This sweet pup will no longer suffer from a lonely heart. He was just adopted by an amazing family who have been long-time Arrow Fund supporters, and they are the perfect match to give him lots of cuddle time and attention.

Baxter was rescued by TAF in 2018 when he was so frightened and in agonizing pain with three leg fractures. With the support of our Arrow Fund family, we got him the emergency surgery he needed, helped him heal, and found him a loving home. Unfortunately, his adopters’ life circumstances changed, and this good boy needed our help once more.

With his new adopters, Baxter will now live next to a park with lots of beauty and activity for him to watch; he will get healthy, mentally-stimulating sniff walks; and, his family predicted that he will win over the entire neighborhood with his cute personality and friendly, tri-paw’d hop-walk.

We want to thank everyone who cared so much about sweet Baxter and shared his story. Your compassion for this innocent dog allowed many more to learn about him and to reach out to us, offering help.

Baxter has a new family of his very own to snuggle with once more, and he has the love of his entire Arrow Fund family surrounding him always. ❤️

THUNDER, who is still looking so hard for his forever human(s) to love, may be a Meerkat at heart!

This big sweetie, who will flop over on his back on top of you in a backwards hug if you lie down on the floor with him, has somehow learned to sit up on his haunches with his front legs suspended in the air like a meerkat!

“Thunder has been a treasure. He’s just so sweet and well behaved. You can often find him in his signature meerkat stance. Not sure if he picked that up after his injury or if he’s done it all along!

“He does great with my other two dogs. My one Chihuahua mix will play with him, but my purebred Chihuahua, Lilly (an Arrow Fund rescue), can be a huge diva so he pretty much leaves her alone and ignores her attitude.

“He’s very much a people dog and loves to cuddle, but the poor guy hasn’t gotten to cuddle all that much because of my new work schedule. He rides in a car like a dream, listens well, and is crate trained, spending the night in there without a peep. Today was his first time crated during the day, and seems to have done fine. I turned the camera on a couple times, and he was just sleeping. I think he’ll be easy to train. He’ll definitely make someone an incredible pet," wrote Ron, his wonderful foster.

Thunder was rescued by The Arrow Fund (TAF) in April when his front legs were broken on impact after he was thrown off a bridge in an act of extreme cruelty.

If that cold-hearted person's intent was to kill him, they failed. This big pup had guardian angels who saved him at the bottom of that ravine, got him to rescuers, and transported him to TAF for emergency medical intervention.

His body continues to heal well, and he is walking better and better with each passing day. He’s now able to go up and down his foster’s outside steps independently.

This boy’s spirit and heart could not be broken on that awful day. Thunder had more love to give and more life to live.

Do you need this big-hearted, goofy love bug in your life? He needs you.

Please fill out our application to adopt Thunder and give him the life and love he has always deserved: thearrowfund.org/our-animals/adoption-application/

❤️❤️❤️
