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.

Look what Janie’s

He's ADOPTABLE! 💜 Guess which pup is now happy, healed, and can't wait to meet his forever person?!

Sweet-natured David, who was found broken and starved along a lonely fence line this past winter by LMAS, has been slowly gaining weight at a healthy pace, healing from his surgery, and learning that he is among friends who care about him.

His adoring foster mom, Kelly, said this beautiful 1-year-old is:

- great with other dogs 🐕
- cat friendly (he pretty much ignores them!) 🐈‍⬛
- easy on the leash 🦮
- house trained 🏠
- crate trained 🛏️
- perfectly sized now (at 30+ pounds) 🐶

Please apply for this good boy and let him love and appreciate you for the rest of his days! ❤️

True love from a pet is unconditional. They love us on our best days as well as our worst days. We are the whole world to them. They depend on us to care for them and to keep them healthy.

On this day of reminders about who we love most, The Arrow Fund offers a reminder to please protect your family members who cannot speak for themselves.

Please take a minute today to review your pet’s medical record. If they are due for a booster, give your vet a call to schedule their vaccines this week!

At The Arrow Fund, we see the most heartbreaking cases of neglect and suffering. Preventative vaccines are such an easy way to protect our cats and dogs from illness and disease.

Seeing your healthy pets protected is the best Valentine's Day gift we could ask for. 💝💝💝

PLEASE POST BELOW (for Facebook) or TAG US IN A STORY (for Instagram) A PIC OF YOUR TRUE (PET) LOVE!

❤️❤️❤️

True love from a pet

From tragedy to the national spotlight, Halo is the definition of a survivor.

Halo had been abandoned in a stairwell, confined, and starved for nearly a year. This beautiful boy suffered so long from severe neglect--but you can’t keep a hero down!

Thanks to the incredible care of his medical team and fosters, Katie S. and Jim Katz, Halo hasn’t just recovered; he’s thrived. He has transformed into a well-trained, soulful, and perfect family dog.

Halo’s story of resilience even went viral, jumping from our local news stations to the pages of USA Today!

The only thing missing from this hero’s story? A forever home.

Despite his fame and his heart of gold, Halo is still waiting for his perfect match. To celebrate his bravery, we’ve named him our very first "TAF Hero of the Month," and we want YOU to meet him!

Event Details: Meet the Hero!

Where: Vines Wine Bar & Spirit Shop at 1985 Douglas Blvd., Louisville, Ky. 40205

When: Friday, February 20th from 5–7:00 PM

The Vibe: Grab a glass of wine, meet Halo and a few of his TAF friends, and see for yourself why this dog is a legend!

Halo has conquered the odds: now he’s ready to conquer your heart. See you at Vines!

If you're interested in adopting a HERO, please apply for Halo here:
