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.

Meet our girl, Jolene! 🐾
A cozy blanket, a good movie, and Jolene by your side - fall is better with company. After her owner passed away, Jolene found herself needing a new place to call home.
This 14-pound girl is approximately 3–5 years old, spayed, dog friendly, and both house and crate trained. She even takes her treats gently, so those (dog friendly) movie snacks are safe to be shared!
Help us find Jolene a home filled with warmth, comfort, and a family to love. 🫶🏼
Have space on your couch to share with Jolene?

Imagine spending your life outside, attached to a thick, 6 lb chain, on the property of an accused dog fighter.
Now imagine the excitement when you see those badges. Law enforcement has arrived, and for the first time, someone is there to save YOU.
Sounds like the beginning of a happy ending, right? Well, not quite.
Imagine being rescued in April, only to spend the next seven months of your life inside a shelter. Seven months of waiting. Seven months of watching people come and go while you remain behind.
And the heartbreaking part? You weren't waiting because no one cared. You were waiting because you were evidence in a criminal case.
This is the reality of court holds. While the legal system works to hold abusers accountable, the animals who have already endured unimaginable suffering are left waiting for their own chance at freedom. Sometimes, that wait becomes another kind of sentence for an animal who has already suffered at human hands.
But Em's story doesn't end there. Those who love her stood up, rallied, and refused for that to be the ending of her story.
We cannot stop talking about dogfighting. It has not disappeared. It is happening in our communities, behind closed doors, and these sweet souls are the ones who pay the price. Fighting this cruelty has been part of The Arrow Fund's mission from the beginning.
And today, as we close out #NationalPitbullAwarenessMonth, we get to help write a different ending.
Meet Em! A gorgeous 2-year-old girl whose next chapter will be filled with compassion, love, and gentle touches.
She will never again know the weight of a chain around her neck. She will never have to wonder if she's next. She will never have to question whether the hands reaching toward her are there to hurt her or love her.
For seven months, Em waited for her second chance. Today, that wait is finally over.
Welcome to The Arrow Fund family, Em. You were never just evidence. You were always a life worth saving. 🫶🏼
