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.

Who exactly makes up sweet Evie? 🧬🐾

When Evie first came into our care after surviving severe neglect, our focus was entirely on her immediate medical crisis. Thanks to our incredible veterinary partners and her dedicated foster family, this resilient girl is finally healing, thriving, and showing off her amazing, unique personality!

Because of her incredible transformation and bravery, Evie has officially been named one of our two TAF Hero Dogs for July! 🏆

To celebrate her journey, we are kicking off Evie’s DNA Guessing Challenge to fund the medical care of the next animal who arrives at our doors. We ran a DNA test, and the results are officially in—but we aren't revealing them just yet!

How to join the collective fun:

Head over to our challenge page: secure.qgiv.com/for/dnaguessingchallenge

Make a $5 donation per guess (every dollar goes directly toward our critical care medical fund).

Cast your official breed guesses!

🍷 Want to study your subject in person? Evie will be available for cuddles, treats, and ear scratches at Vines Wine Bar (1985 Douglass Blvd., Louisville, KY) on Friday, July 31st from 6-8 PM! Come grab a glass, meet this month's hero in person, and finalize your theories.

The closest guess wins serious bragging rights and a special feature on our page with Evie herself. Drop your initial theories in the comments below, then lock them in at the link!

🎉 We have happy news to share with you! 🎉

Arrow Fund rescue Crostini was adopted!! She has a forever family with loving human parents and a big canine brother who immediately made her feel like part of their pack! ❤️

This innocent pup may have once been dumped on the side of a road to starve and suffer with a painful skin condition that left her body and face hairless, but look what great medical care, a wonderful foster's TLC, and your amazing generosity have done to completely transform her former life of misery to one of joy with a bright and healthy future.

Her new parents report that Crostini and her new doggie brother are already besties! 🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺

Arrow Fund family: thank you so much for making second chances possible!! ❤️‍🩹

🚨 URGENT INTAKE: DEMI 🚨

Not a day goes by that we don’t receive an email, message, or phone call from someone desperately begging for help for an animal they’ve found abused, injured, or neglected.

While we can’t always say yes, we are always grateful for the kind and compassionate people who choose to stop. The people who refuse to look away. The people who see an animal suffering and decide that their life matters.

When it comes to The Arrow Fund animals, there are moments when we think we’ve seen it all.

Then we received the email about Demi.

One look at the photos, and we knew we had to help her.

What happened to Demi?

We honestly don’t know.

We can speculate about some horrific scenarios, and sadly, we may never know the truth. What we do know is that injuries this severe are rarely simple or inexpensive to treat.

But Demi is here now.

She has people fighting for her.

And she has us.

Demi will be undergoing surgery with Dr. Chris at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, and we desperately need help covering the cost of her medical care.

Our rescue exists for animals like Demi. The ones who have suffered. The ones who need someone willing to step in when the rest of the world has failed them.

Today, Demi needs all of us.

If you can donate, no amount is too small. Every dollar helps us give Demi the medical care she needs and allows us to continue saying YES to the next abused or neglected animal who desperately needs somewhere to turn.

If you can’t donate, please share her story.

Let’s show Demi that while we may never know exactly what happened to her, her story doesn’t end with the person or circumstances that caused her pain.

Her next chapter starts now. 💜🐾
