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.

Now for something much lighter: Sid’s eyes. This super sweet boy looks like he’s seen things. He has that “thousand yard stare” but it totally belies his gentle demeanor.
He may LOOK like a fierce, husky-eyed baby Rottweiler, but he ACTS more like a soft spaniel who would adore sidling up next to you on the couch for “Lady and the Tramp” and some popcorn.
Sid came to TAF from the withering darkness of neglect. Amazingly, the care that was withheld from him in his first two years of life didn’t dampen his love or trust of humans.
He loves us. And those who know him love him right back.
Sid has no idea people might find his unusual eyes scary in any way. His fosters think of him more like a 34.7lb. Paul Newman with those mesmerizing, ice-blue eyes.
Sid loves dogs and is gentle with the kids he’s met through his fosters and our events.
Could you fall in love with your own dark haired, blue-eyed 🩵🩵 handsome guy?
He needs a loving person willing to see him for who he really is: a sweetheart whose early neglect couldn’t override his gentle personality or love for humans.
This 3-year-old good boy deserves a second chance for happiness—and a cozy place to call his forever home.
Can you give him that love?
Please apply for Sid and give him a chance to love you, too:

Western KY Hoarding Case-TAF Intakes-UPDATE:
Because of fosters who opened their hearts and homes on a moment’s notice in an emergency situation, The Arrow Fund was able to say “YES! We can rescue six of the dogs, and get them the medical and foster care they desperately need!”
These babies have been so severely neglected and malnourished--some left to suffer with miserably itchy skin and ear infections. Little Churro was bred to produce MORE PUPPIES, despite a lack of any care in unimaginable squalor. Hundreds of big dogs barked nonstop all around her tiny body as she was forced to deliver pups of undeterminable size with no help. Her vet noted that she’s sensitive to being touched in her rear region. We can only imagine what she’s endured.
Churro is one of our six survivors from a hoarding case in Western Kentucky with 250 animals that Guardians of Rescue is still working diligently to find safe havens for (with multiple rescue organizations across our Commonwealth). Bless them for their work. They have seen the most heartbreaking and overwhelming conditions that no human or animal should ever have to endure, and still keep going. 💔
Arrow Fund family, please meet our little six survivors! These babies are now safe, they are being treated by our medical partners, and they are in extraordinarily loving and skilled foster care until they find foster-to-adopt or forever homes.
CHURRO 🩷
Age & gender: 2-3 year-old female
Size: Small, 9.42lb. Chihuahua mix
Foster notes: Gentle and sweet natured, loves being held and cuddled.
WILSON 💙
Age & gender: 1-yr-old male
Size: Tiny Chihuahua mix
Foster notes: Big goofball with a bigger personality. Has never met a stranger, and welcomes everyone he meets with tail wags.
RAISIN 🩷
Age & gender: 12-week-old female
Size: Tiny, 2.8lbs., Chihuahua mix
Foster notes: Happy-go-lucky puppy who would love to have children around. She is a sweet snuggle queen.
SNOOP 💙
Age & gender: We are waiting for a vet to determine approx. age for this good boy.
Size: Small, Miniature Pincher/Dachshund mix(?)
Foster notes: Super snuggly and affectionate. Curious. Loves to climb onto things to get comfy. Loves belly rubs and all things cozy.
DECKER 💙
Age & gender: We are waiting for a vet to determine approx. age for this good boy.
Size: Small Dachshund mix (gets weighed tomorrow)
Foster notes: A little timid, but once he knows you’re a safe person, he will beg for love and attention. Playful and also loves all things cozy!
FOXIE 💙
Age & gender: Young male
Size: Small, long-haired Chihuahua mix (gets weighed tomorrow)
Foster notes: Described as the sweetest little dog ever. He’s super docile and foster hopes to help heal his confidence.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Getting them healed and ready for a new life they’ve only ever dreamed about won’t be quick or inexpensive. We’ve asked before, but please know we truly need every donation, no matter how small (or large!) if you’re able. ❤️🩹

TUNE IN THIS EVENING to WDRB News: Please catch their interview with wonderful Arrow Fund volunteer and foster Katie M. about little Churro's journey out of a horrific hoarding situation in Western Kentucky to getting the help she needed through The Arrow Fund for medical intervention and foster care she has to have to heal.
Thank you to Dr. Chris and Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, for your skilled care, concern, and love of the animals we bring to you in such desperate need. We appreciate Dr. Chris talking about Churro's medical intervention and ongoing needs today.
Thank you to reporter Adi Schanie, anchor Reyna Katko WDRB, and WDRB news for sharing our plea for help from fosters and donations to cover the medical and veterinary expenses for some of the innocent victims of neglect affected by this hoarding situation. ❤️
The Arrow Fund was able to rescue six of the dogs from this horrible hoarding situation because of incredible fosters who stepped up on a moment's notice.
Guardians of Rescue is working with TAF and other rescues across the state to save more than 227 animals from this horrible situation.
How can you help?
PLEASE SIGN UP TO FOSTER so we never have to turn an animal away!

Katie mentioned that we were able to bring six dogs to safety and healing because a few fosters said "YES! We will take them into our home!"
Fostering SAVES LIVES, and we appreciate every single one of you who opens your heart and home to help us say YES to more animal victims!
If you can't foster right now, but your heart goes out to these animals in desperate need of care, medicine, and love, please donate what you can. Any amount is truly appreciated!
