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.

Introducing, Charlie! 🐾
With ears this big, we're pretty sure he can hear a treat bag opening from across the house, your neighbors chit-chatting three doors down, and probably conversations that haven't even happened yet.
Charlie has a face you can’t say no to and is ready to find someone who appreciates his impressive resume:
✨ Potty trained
✨ Crate trained
✨ Friendly + sweet
✨ Walks well on leash
✨ Listens well (obviously!)
He isn’t asking for much: a person to call his own, maybe a yard or spot to go for walks, and someone to whisper in his ears “who’s a good boy!” 25 times a day 🫶🏼
Apply to adopt Charlie! (The ears are included at no additional charge).

SINGER UPDATE: ANOTHER HUGE MILESTONE!
Yesterday was a BIG day for our sweet Singer!
After weeks of splints, countless vet visits, and a recovery journey that once seemed so uncertain, we have some incredible news! The amazing team at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic has officially taken Singer as far as medical treatment can take her. Now, the next chapter of her healing is up to time, patience, and that determined little body of hers!
Over the next several months, Singer will continue rebuilding strength and muscle in her front legs, learning to trust those little legs that have already endured so much.
Yesterday was also bittersweet. While we said goodbye to some familiar faces who have been part of her journey, Singer had the opportunity to meet another incredible advocate joining her corner, Leland Conway!
Singer’s story has touched thousands, but we wish we could tell you her case was rare. Sadly, it’s not. The Arrow Fund has encountered more than 100 animals this year alone with heartbreaking stories of abuse, cruelty, and neglect.
Yesterday, a young child said something that stopped us in our tracks:
“If we protect animals, we protect people.”
Such simple words, yet such a powerful message. When we allow cruelty toward animals to go unanswered, we fail more than just the animals. We fail our communities, too.
We could share statistics, talk about the growing crisis, and remind everyone how desperately change is needed. And we will continue having those conversations.
But today belongs to Singer.
Today, we celebrate a little puppy who was thrown away like garbage, suffered unimaginable injuries, and somehow never lost her spirit. A puppy who has become a voice for so many animals who never get the chance to have theirs heard.
To the incredible team Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, everyone who has supported her recovery, and every single person continuing to fight for justice, THANK YOU!
Singer’s bones may be healed, but her story is far from over. And neither is our fight for justice.
Thank you Hagan Properties, Inc. 840 WHAS Courier Journal WDRB Mornings WLKY News WDRB+WAVE News The Dodo Hagan Saddlebreds and every person who spoke up! Please continue being their voice!!!!

🚨 URGENT NEW INTAKE: MEET DALTON 🚨
This tiny puppy was reportedly thrown from a moving vehicle and then struck by a car.
Someone witnessed what happened, stopped to help, and because they did, Dalton survived.
But surviving was only the beginning. ❤️🩹
Dalton suffered a fractured right femur that required surgical repair. At just 14 weeks old and only 7.7 pounds, he has already endured more than any puppy ever should.
His surgery is complete and now begins a long, carefully managed recovery. For the first several weeks, Dalton will be on extremely restricted activity — crate rest, no running, no jumping and only very short, slow leash trips outside to use the bathroom.
His rehabilitation will gradually increase over the next two months, with longer controlled walks and strengthening exercises added week by week. At approximately 8 weeks post-op, Dalton will need repeat X-rays to determine how well his femur has healed. Depending on those results, his veterinary team anticipates a gradual return to normal activity somewhere around the 8–12 week mark.
For most puppies, the next two months would be filled with zoomies, wrestling, toys and exploring the world. For Dalton, they will be filled with crate rest, medications, physical therapy, veterinary visits and healing.
But this little guy has already shown us just how tough he is:
He survived being thrown from a moving vehicle.
He survived being struck by a car.
He survived a broken femur.
He survived horrible road rash.
He made it through surgery.
Now we need to help him through the recovery.
Dalton’s care is far from over, and cases like his come with significant veterinary costs. If you can donate toward his surgery, medications, follow-up X-rays and rehabilitation, please help us give this tiny survivor the future he deserves.
If you can’t donate, please share Dalton’s story. Welcome to The Arrow Fund family, sweet boy. Your life should never have started this way. From here on out, you have an entire village fighting for you 🫶🏼

September was full of the very best kind of goodbyes 🫶🏼
These are the faces who officially traded foster homes for forever families of their own!
Every adoption represents so much more than one happy ending. It represents the foster who opened their home, the volunteer who gave their time, the donor who helped cover medical care, the person who shared a post, and the of course the adopter who said, “You’re coming home with me!”
To every person who supports our mission - thank you! Because of you, we’re able to say yes to animals who need us and give them the time, care, and love they deserve.
And to our September adopters: thank you for choosing rescue and for making these sweet faces part of your families. We hope your homes are now a little furrier, a little funnier, and filled with a whole lot more love! 🐾
Here’s to our September happily ever afters! 🎉
