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.

TAF INTAKE: EMACIATED BOSTON TERRIER MIX
When this sweet girl was found wandering a lonely highway in Lewis County, Ky., her poor body had whittled down to just 13 lbs. Hip bones and ribs were clearly visible as her body had metabolized most muscle tissue and any fat in an effort to stay alive.
The nearest shelter was overcrowded, underfunded, and overwhelmed—just like so many across our Commonwealth that struggle under our state’s lax animal welfare laws (leading to repeated abandonment and abuse), lack of significant funds for spay/neuter programs, and resulting overpopulations of unwanted pets.
This baby desperately needed time to gain weight slowly and at a pace her body could withstand; she needed somewhere peaceful to recover without the stress of a loud, overcrowded holding pen.
No one came for her. Euthanasia loomed within the hour. In desperation, someone reached out to The Arrow Fund to plead for an oasis of help and time that she so desperately needed to stay alive.
We said YES, and this small girl became a part of our TAF community. Dear TAF family: please meet beautiful Evie.
We told her she would be safe, loved, and cared for now; she could have time to recover and find a home where she will never want for food or be abandoned again.
If you can help with her nutritional/medical needs, vaccinations, and spay costs, please donate whatever you can. Your generosity allows us to say “YES, we will help” to Evie and dogs and cats just like her who otherwise would face death, starvation, disease, and violence through no fault of their own.
We send YOU so much gratitude for your gifts that make our rescue efforts and the ability to transform lives from misery to healing love possible. ❤️🩹

Meet Jax 🧡
This handsome guy has been through more than his fair share, but you’d never know it by that big, hopeful smile.
Rescued from a hoarding situation, Jax is putting in the work every single day to learn what it means to be a loved, safe dog—and he’s making amazing progress.
Jax is looking for a calm, patient home where he can continue to grow at his own pace. He prefers a slow introduction to new dog friends and would do best in a home with kids 10+. Once he trusts you, he’s all heart—especially if you’re a lady (he’s a total ladies’ man 💁♀️).
His perfect day? A peaceful walk around the neighborhood, a cozy spot to relax, and a clean crate to call his own. What he wants most, though, is a person to call his.
If you’re ready to give a sweet, deserving dog the second chance he’s been waiting for, Jax is ready to meet you.

Broken but Not Beaten. Meet Morgan.
Take a look at this video. Really look at it. 💔
This is Morgan. He’s two years old. He’s a Beagle. And for months, he has been dragging a broken leg through rural Kentucky. Months of throbbing pain. Months of wondering if anyone would ever notice.
He recently landed at a local shelter, and the staff knew exactly who to call. They knew Morgan didn't need a kennel—he needed a miracle.
The Plan: Morgan hits the road for Louisville tomorrow. From there, he goes straight to our specialist vets. We already know the drill: neuter, bloodwork, and a hard look at that leg. Because it was left broken for so long, the damage might be permanent. Morgan might be starting his new life as a tripod, but we promise you this: he’ll be faster on three legs than he ever was in pain on four.
The Village: It takes an incredible village to fix what humans break. It took a rescuer to see him, a shelter to shield him, and a volunteer driver to get him to us. Now, it’s our turn. Our vets will handle the surgery, and a TAF foster will provide the quiet, safe space he needs to realize the nightmare is over.
Morgan has two recoveries ahead of him. The physical one is the easy part. The mental one, learning that hands can be kind and that he is finally safe, that’s where the real work begins.
We’re betting on him. We hope that in a few weeks, a forever family will, too.
Help us heal Morgan. Help us show him what "human" is supposed to mean.
