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.

TAF SINGER PUP UPDATE: We know we’ve said it before, but there simply aren’t enough ways to say “Thank you!!”

When Singer was found crying inside a recycling bin, we had no idea how far that tiny voice could travel.

Because of the incredible TAF family her voice carried across the country.

An incredible person stepped up and put Singer’s story on a billboard. Hagan Properties has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to answers. Thousands of you have shared her face, donated towards her care, followed her recovery, sent messages of encouragement and demanded justice for a puppy that most have never met. Please understand what that means to us who do this work. We see broken bodies, animals discarded like garbage. We see what happens when cruelty goes unchecked. And often we see things that are difficult to forget. But all of you have shown us the best of humanity.

Medically, Singer remains in the part of rescue that can sometimes feel the hardest: waiting.

She continues her weekly splint changes at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, and we are finally beginning to see progress. Surgery is still not completely off the table, but we are becoming increasingly hopeful that we are on the right treatment path.

Her foster mom has also noticed that the scleral hemorrhaging in her eyes, caused by the strangulation she endured, continues to clear.

But perhaps the biggest change isn’t something you’ll see on an X-ray. She is learning how to be a puppy!

Singer didn’t let the monster take her voice thanks to all of you!

But Singer still needs something from us.
She needs justice.
There is currently a $20,000 reward being offered for information in this case (please see attached letter from Hagan Properties, Inc.).

Someone knows who did this.

Someone may remember seeing Singer before she was found. Someone may recognize her. Someone may have heard a comment, witnessed something unusual, or know exactly who was responsible.

Please do not convince yourself that what you know isn’t important.

PLEASE make the call:

Louisville Metro Police Department tip line at 502-574-LMPD (5673).

Callers may remain anonymous.

TAF adoptable pups: meet Jake and Janet! 🐕‍🦺 🐕‍🦺

“This dynamic duo couldn’t be sweeter. We call them ‘The Littles’ of our house. While they’ve been working on their potty training and commands like sit and stay, they also haven’t forgotten how to have fun,” wrote their wonderful foster mom.

She went on to say that Janet is “very into surveying the landscaping and making sure that no stick is hidden or toy is unaccounted for.” She also likes to practice her wrestling moves and jump from the couch onto the back of her little brother. “Jake has been practicing his biggest bark for ‘Paw Patrol’ but we’re still a few octaves too high. He also likes to turn into a wet noodle whenever you pick him up.

“Both pups love any mealtime, bones, and stealing toys from the other. They listen well to our senior resident dogs and like to keep the cats on their toes, but only in a playful way,” their foster said.

They are playful, beautiful puppies who enjoy the backyard where they get to explore and sniff to learn about the world. They also love car rides and walks are always a special treat for both.

These hound-lab mixes are about 3-4 months old. “Janet seems to be a smidge more hound while Jake snagged a bit more lab,” their foster said.

Thanks to our TAF family support, the pups have been spayed/neutered, and are now fully vaccinated.

💜 Please apply for Janet or Jake, and give them all the love and care they deserve to live happy, healthy lives:

PUP named SINGER TAF UPDATE:

Before we give the update so many of you have been waiting for, we need to start with two very important words:

THANK YOU!

The TAF family has once again shown us just how powerful a community can be when it comes together for an animal who desperately needs someone in their corner.

You have donated. You have prayed. You have shared. You have cried with us. You have carried Singer’s story far beyond Kentucky and across the country.

And we need you to keep going.
Because while Singer is safe now, she still deserves justice.
Singer’s medical future remains uncertain. Her little body endured injuries no puppy should ever experience, and we simply don’t know yet what challenges may lie ahead.

But Singer doesn’t know that.
She doesn’t know the odds.
She doesn’t know thousands of people know her name.

She only knows that today she is safe.

And with every passing day, we are beginning to see little pieces of the puppy that were hidden beneath all that pain.

Singer spends her days curled up watching “Bluey”, and being pushed around her foster’s neighborhood in her stroller, taking in the sights and sounds of a world that has finally started being kind to her.

Today, she returned to Dogwood Veterinary Clinic for her first splint changes. Neurologically, she remains very alert, and despite everything her tiny body has endured (including a skull fracture), she continues to fight. She has the will to live.

Now she needs us to be her voice.

Somewhere, someone knows what happened to this puppy.
Someone may have seen something.
Someone may have heard something.
Someone may recognize her.
Someone may know exactly who hurt her.

No little amount of information is too small!

Singer cannot tell investigators what happened to her. She cannot tell them who caused her injuries. She cannot point them toward the person responsible.

Please continue sharing Singer’s story. Let her face reach every neighborhood, every community, and every person it possibly can.

If you have any info. regarding Singer’s case, PLEASE contact the Louisville Metro Police Department anonymous tip line at 502-564-LMPD (5673).

Singer’s only job now is to heal.
To watch Bluey.
To enjoy her stroller rides.
To learn what dog toys are.
To discover what it feels like to be loved. ❤️

And, little by little, to finally get the chance to simply be a puppy.

Thank you so much for caring deeply about this little innocent animal who was stomped, choked, beaten, and thrown away in horribly cruel acts.

Your support has given her the chance to heal and a second chance to find humans who love and adore her. 💔❤️‍🩹
