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 family: we have some bad news. Until we can find some more fosters to help, we will have to close our intake of any additional animals in need.
Those needs never go away, but our ability to say yes does without foster families.
Our fosters are some of the best around—they love animals who are sometimes on the brink of death and bring them “back to life.”
But summer means vacations. Our current foster homes are full. And our fosters deserve a break from feeling like they always have to say yes.
If you are the special type of person who is willing to open your home and heart to a dog in need, we would love to have you apply.
Several dogs in our care are looking for a foster to take over as they reach the “almost adoptable” stage!
If you:
📍 Live within +/- 45 minutes of Louisville and can make it to vet appts (scheduled at times convenient to you, but at our approved vet partners’ offices)
🏡 🛏️ Have a space for a dog to decompress, or rest, or have separation while getting acclimated
❤️ Love animals and want to be part of something truly special
✅ Then please apply to foster here:
new.shelterluv.com/form/volunteer/TAF/134764-taf-foster-application
As a foster, here are some of the things you get/we provide:
- Food
- Crate
- Medicine
- Any supplies needed within reason (potty pads, beds, toys, etc)
- A wonderful support group where you can ask questions and share cute pictures
- Ability to bring your foster to events to promote
- First dibs on keeping your foster if you fall in love 😉
If you have questions about fostering, please ask in comments below and one of our trusted fosters will answer any questions you may have before signing up!
Pictured are some of the animals in our care that are looking for fosters/foster-to-adopters.
You can apply for a specific dog, or submit a general application if you have no preference/are open to fostering a future dog!
Please note: TAF does not have a facility, so please keep that in mind when applying. We are happy to talk more about the time commitment 1:1 if needed!
Thank you to all of our incredible fosters who always answer the call, and we are excited to add folks to our community of animal lovers and advocates 💜
