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.

Need more charm and good luck in your life? This beautiful boy may one of the luckiest pups we’ve met in a long time.
Despite someone trying to kill him with a gunshot aimed most likely for his heart, their shot managed to miss every vital organ and bone—and the bullet exited his body cleanly.
Dr. Chris from Dogwood Veterinary Clinic said this is one lucky boy!
He will heal quickly and be ready to make someone an amazing companion!
Please apply for this smart, lucky, handsome boy today! 🍀🍀🍀

DAVID was ADOPTED!! We are so happy to tell you that this beautiful boy has been adopted by a wonderful family who loves him dearly!
David came to The Arrow Fund after he was found as a broken, emaciated stray along a desolate fence line by a team from LMAS.
He was shivering, starving, and unable to find even scraps on the street after his pelvis had been broken and his body hit hard enough to separate his tail bone from his body.
He clearly needed The Arrow Fund family to be able to get the amputation and repair surgery, as well as the time to heal that he so desperately needed.
Your AMAZING support, his skilled surgical team at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, his tender-loving care from his fosters, and his rescuers from LMAS truly saved David and gave him the second chance he needed for good health and a happy life.
Compare the expression on his face from his first intake photos to his “Gotcha Day!” photo with his new family—this was an innocent dog who nearly lost all hope that someone would care about him to one that “smiles” when he looks forward to his future.
You made that possible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring about the innocent animals who have suffered so much through no fault of their own.
You make transformation stories for them possible. ❤️🩹❤️
Please join us in congratulating beautiful, healthy David and his new, happy family!!

Winston update: this beautiful boy had developed an infection in a previously broken femur bone and was suffering in pain, so our medical partners recommended that leg be amputated to get him on the path toward pain-free great health.
We are so happy to say he’s been spoiled with love and amazing care as he recovers at his foster Dawn’s Camp Fido-Retreat For Dogs!
She said he is a super sweet guy, and knows he’ll make his adopter(s) so happy one day soon! ❤️
Reach out if you want to meet this handsome guy: adoption@thearrowfund.orgWinston enjoyed his stay so much last time that he decided to come back and visit again! 🏕️
Last time Winston came to explore and run wild. This time he’s checking in for a little R & R. Unfortunately, Winston came into rescue with an injured leg that never healed correctly, so yesterday he had to have his leg amputated.
Don’t worry—he’s feeling a little blue right now, but soon he will be back to his old self and pain-free. Winston is a pup under the care of The Arrow Fund rescue, and they are making sure he has all the medical care he needs.
His forever family is coming soon—I can feel it. In the meantime, he’ll be CHILLAXIN’ at camp. 🩵

📦 Found in a box.
That’s how these puppies entered the world of rescue; they were dumped and left for someone else to save.
Shortly after arriving at Louisville Metro Animal Services, they became sick with Parvovirus, a deadly disease that primarily affects unvaccinated puppies. Parvo is incredibly expensive to treat and heartbreaking to watch, but it’s also highly preventable with proper vaccinations and responsible pet ownership.
The Arrow Fund said YES to these babies when they needed it most. Because of that help, they received lifesaving hospitalization and treatment that gave them a second chance at life.
Now, after healing and spending time learning how to be healthy, happy puppies again in foster care, they are finally ready for their forever families. 🐾
Their story is also an important reminder:
💉 PLEASE vaccinate your pets! Vaccines can save their lives.
✂️ Spay and neuter: help prevent unwanted litters that often end up abandoned like these pups.
These little survivors beat the odds. Now all they need is a home of their own. ❤️
If you’re ready to give one of these brave and adorable pups the happy family they deserve, please apply today to get a loyal pet with the best puppy breath ever:

TAF adoptable PIXIE: You may have seen some preview photos of this little cutie pie who came to The Arrow Fund out of Logan County, Ky. with medical neglect. After surgery this past winter to set her broken leg, she has been healing and thriving in loving foster care.
She just had her spay surgery and her cast removed, so once she has the “all clear” from her vet, she can be your new baby!
Pixie is an 11lb., 2-year-old Jack Russell mix with sparkly eyes, a friendly demeanor, and a fondness for lap cuddles. Her amazing foster, Lois, said this pup LOVES attention and her humans! She does well with dogs more her size but may need a slower introduction to warm up to bigger dogs.
Lois laughed and said Pixie will voice her disapproval if you are slow with her meals—or if squirrels or birds dare to land in HER yard! As a toy/treat, Pixie loves Nyla bones best!
Are you ready to make this cutie a part of your family?
