ANIMAL RESCUES ONLY: RESCUE@THEARROWFUND.ORG
The Arrow Fund
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes animal victims of extreme torture, abuse, or neglect. We also educate, raise awareness, and advocate for the humane treatment of animals.
Our Vision
Healing abused and severely neglected animals through medical care, advocacy, and education-The Arrow Fund Mission Statement.
The Arrow Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides veterinary treatment, fostering, and rehoming of animals who have been victims of extreme torture, abuse, or neglect. We also educate the public regarding the ongoing problem of animal cruelty and the link between animal abuse and human violence and advocate strengthening our local, state, and national animal welfare laws.
When The Arrow Fund is contacted, and the case meets our criteria, we take legal possession of the animal and transport them to a veterinary facility for treatment. Following treatment, the animal recovers in a foster home; they can acclimate to living indoors and be assessed/retrained in preparation for adoption into a permanent home.
Stay Involved
There’s always something going on at The Arrow Fund! Whether it’s through outreach at a music festival, an important deadline related to changing legislation, or a fundraising event, we love the opportunity to meet and interact with the community.

Who exactly makes up sweet Evie? 🧬🐾
When Evie first came into our care after surviving severe neglect, our focus was entirely on her immediate medical crisis. Thanks to our incredible veterinary partners and her dedicated foster family, this resilient girl is finally healing, thriving, and showing off her amazing, unique personality!
Because of her incredible transformation and bravery, Evie has officially been named one of our two TAF Hero Dogs for July! 🏆
To celebrate her journey, we are kicking off Evie’s DNA Guessing Challenge to fund the medical care of the next animal who arrives at our doors. We ran a DNA test, and the official results will be in soon—but before they get here, we want you to lock in your best predictions!
How to join the collective fun:
1. Head over to our challenge page:
secure.qgiv.com/for/dnaguessingchallenge
2. Make a $5 donation per guess (every dollar goes directly toward our critical care medical fund).
3. Cast your official breed guesses!
🍷 Want to study your subject in person? Evie will be available for cuddles, treats, and ear scratches at Vines Wine Bar & Spirit Shop (1985 Douglass Blvd, Louisville, KY) on Friday, July 31st from 6-8 PM!
Come grab a glass, meet this month's hero in person, and finalize your theories.
The closest guess wins serious bragging rights and a special feature on our page with Evie herself. Drop your initial theories in the comments below, then lock them in at the link!

Today is National Pet Fire Safety Day—a reminder that our beloved pets rely on us to keep them safe in every situation, especially during emergencies.
An estimated 500,000 pets are affected by home fires each year; that’s an alarming number, considering when a fire starts, pets don’t know how to keep themselves or their owners safe.
Please take a moment to have a plan for the furry family members who cannot ask but desperately need our protection.
Fire Safety Tips for Pets:
1. Help Pet-Proof Your Home:
Keep open flames (like candles or stove tops), electrical cords, and other hazards out of your pet’s reach (or a “sweeping tail wag”). Never leave pets unattended around fire or heat sources.
2. Create a Pet Emergency Kit & Keep Supplies Accessible:
Just like your human family, your pet needs a ready-to-go emergency kit: food, water, medications, vet records, a leash or carrier, and familiar comfort items like toys or blankets. Keep emergency supplies near a door.
3. Use a Pet Rescue Window Cling:
Place a decal on an easily visible window to alert firefighters that pets are inside. This can save critical time during an emergency.
4. Identification Matters:
Only 33% of pets wear ID tags—and far fewer are microchipped. In case your pet does become displaced during an emergency, proper identification greatly increases the chances of being reunited. According to PetAmberAlert, July sees a 30–60% increase in lost pets, so PLEASE don’t wait to update or attach your pet’s ID collar tag with your current contact info.
Please make a plan now to keep pets safe.

🎉 Joyful news! 🎉
Snowfox was adopted and is now living her best life with another Shepherd who is an Arrow Fund alum, an amazing mentor for her, and dearly loved! Snowfox's big canine brother brings positivity and happiness to everyone he meets as a registered service animal.
We are overjoyed when TAF adopters are able to bring more of our beautiful rescues into the family, and Snowfox won the lottery with one of mama shepherd's pups (now named Spike) who was adopted three years ago by Andy!
"Spike turns three years old today, and I could not have been luckier to have found this dog. I can't say enough about the work that Arrow Fund does, and how amazing this dog is. He has made such a positive impact on everyone's life that he crosses paths with," Andy said.
Thank you, Arrow Fund family, for making second chances like Snowfox's and Spike's possible. We are overwhelmed by your love and generosity for the animals TAF rescues.
Please join us in wishing Snowfox and her new family a huge congratulations and many happy years to come!! ❤️❤️❤️
