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.

Give for Good

What does $10,000 do for a dog or cat in our care?
It removes broken and mangled limbs.
It gives puppies lifesaving antibodies against parvo.
It provides every prescription to keep a pet from being in pain, or being sick.
It’s surgery to remove cancerous masses, ruptured eyes, and necrotic tissue.
It gives our fosters EVERYTHING they need to give our pets a comfortable place to learn to trust.
It allows us to do spay and neuter surgeries to stop the over population crisis by ensuring no more litters are born.
It keeps us saying yes to the next one in need.

And what would $20,000 do? Even more.

This #giveforgood day, The Arrow Fund has an opportunity to receive a grant of a 10k match. If we can raise 10k, then we get another right along with it. And the best part? We’re already 1/2 way there.

The TAF community shows up time and time again. Today, our future animals need your help. If you can donate $1, $5, $10, $100 - ANY amount - your generous contribution keeps the next neglected animal from suffering.

We can’t do this without you 💜

Yesterday, we asked you to share your why. Today, we want to share ours. 💜

Why do we open the heartbreaking emails, read the desperate pleas, and look at photos of animals who have endured unimaginable abuse?

Because we want change.

This year, we’ve seen a heartbreaking rise in hoarding, severe neglect, and outright animal cruelty. Singer’s story reached people across the country, but if you’ve followed The Arrow Fund, you know she is just one of hundreds who have needed us.

Our why is simple: We want to fight so hard that one day organizations like The Arrow Fund are no longer needed.

But until that day comes, we need you beside us.

This Give for Good, we have an incredible $10,000 matching donation, which means your gift can go twice as far. Together, we have the opportunity to say YES to more animals, provide lifesaving medical care, and save so many more lives.

Please support The Arrow Fund this Give for Good. Help us keep fighting for them.

She survived the wound. Now Mina needs someone to choose her. 💜

At just a few months old, Mina was found living among a colony of cats with a deep puncture wound to her neck. In an area where veterinary care isn’t always readily available, a wound like hers could have easily become life-threatening.

But Mina had something every vulnerable animal deserves: an advocate.

Someone took the time to catch her. Someone transported her. Someone made sure she got to The Arrow Fund, where she could finally receive the medical care she needed.

We may never know exactly what caused the wound, possibly an animal bite, but thankfully that chapter of Mina’s story is officially behind her.

Her neck is healed. Her body is healthy. And now she’s ready for the best part: a family. 🏡

Mina is just 4 months old and has been vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. She is:

*Playful with other cats and kittens
*Cat-savvy dog friendly
*Litter box trained
*Sweet and snuggly
*Basically everything you could ask for in one tiny kitten

Mina fought through the hard part. Now all she needs to do is get adopted.

Could you be the person who gives this little survivor her happily-ever-after? 💜
