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.

For a dog whose name is Stellar, his life sure started off as anything but. Abandoned. Broken. Hopeless. But now? Living up to his name and reminding us why we keep showing up.
Stellar was found on the side of the road and put in a shelter where he was going to be euthanized for his injuries. After undergoing surgery to repair his leg/hip, Stellar has made a full recovery and wants to show off his good boy skills for you!
🤩 smart! He is a quick learner and eager to please
🤩 curious! After having a new lease on life, he's ready to see what the world has to offer
🤩 treat motivated! If you bring the snacks, he brings the attention
🤩 cat friendly! Enjoys watching his cat buddies
🤩 dog friendly! Happy to make friends with canine companions
🤩 gentle on leash! Take him to events or for a stroll and he will be a joy wherever he goes
🤩 kid friendly! Non discriminate with snuggles.
If you're in the market for a well rounded, solid dog, who will be your #1 fan, then apply to adopt Stellar here (or use link in bio):

The Arrow Fund is so excited to share our work and mission with more than 500 students and their chaperones from Madison Consolidated Jr. High, Highland Hills Middle School, St. James Catholic School, Lexington Montessori School, RadcliD Elementary, and East Washington Elementary during the Kentucky Science Center’s “Paws & Pals” science celebration event this Friday from 10 AM-2 PM!
What a fantastic way for young people to learn more about healthy relationships between humans and animals, the mission of TAF, and the compassion needed for innocent pets who have suffered abuse and neglect, so that they are able to overcome those challenges, heal, and finally thrive.
Please stop by on Friday during “Paws and Pals” or on Saturday for “Family Day” at the Science Center to meet some of our amazing TAF rescues (like BRADLEY!), then spend time exploring the Kentucky Science Center.
WHEN: 10 AM-2 PM on Friday May 15 for “Paws and Pals” or
9:30 AM-5 PM on Saturday, May 16 for “Family Day”
WHERE: Kentucky Science Center
727 W. Main St.
Louisville KY 40202
COST: “Paws & Pals” activities are included FREE with your general admission to kyscience: kysciencecenter.org/programs/science-celebrations/

When you are a rescue whose sole mission is to help abused and neglected animals, you quickly learn that some days humanity feels incredibly heavy.
Every single day, we receive calls, messages, and emails from people desperately begging us to save an animal. And the heartbreaking reality is… sometimes we can’t. Not because we do not care, but because there are only so many foster homes, only so much funding, and only so many hours in a day.
Most animals entering The Arrow Fund are not simple cases needing vaccines, a spay/neuter, and an adoption post. Many come to us after enduring unimaginable abuse, starvation, abandonment, or years of medical neglect. They arrive broken physically, emotionally, or both.
These animals often require extensive surgeries, emergency medical care, rehabilitation, and months of recovery. But despite the cost, despite the exhaustion, and despite the heartbreak, we continue to fight for them because they deserve that second chance.
And in many cases, giving them that second chance also gives us the opportunity to stand up in court and help ensure their abusers are held accountable.
With that being said, this past week has been filled with medical emergencies, unexpected expenses, and critical cases that desperately needed help. Simply put… we need help.
Every donation, every share, every foster application, and every kind word helps keep this mission moving forward. Because without support from our community, these animals do not get the second chance they deserve.
This rescue is not easy. It is emotional, draining, and at times overwhelming. But every healed wound, every wagging tail, and every animal who finally learns what love feels like reminds us why we keep going.
Please help if you are able:
