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 UPDATE: Good golly, look at Miss Dolly! This beautiful young dog has absolutely blossomed with medical intervention, a steady diet of nutritious food, and amazing Arrow Fund foster care!
This doe-eyed baby was limp, emaciated, severely dehydrated, and rescued from the brink of death out of a house filled with many other animals—a house where she would have died quickly from renal failure caused by dehydration, starvation, and an intestinal blockage caused by eating bones and fur in an effort to put anything into her gnawing, empty belly.
Your outpouring of love and support for Dolly changed the trajectory of her life from near death (at only one and a half years old) to boundless energy and enthusiastic affection for the people she meets!
To the people
💜 who refused to turn away from Dolly’s life-threatening condition and environment
💜 who poured love and donations into The Arrow Fund medical fund for her urgent care
💜 who began life-saving measures and performed her miraculous, urgent surgery
💜 who held her body that first night and loved her back to life in Arrow Fund foster care
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. 🥹❤️
Dolly’s loving foster, Kaitlyn, said this beautiful girl is kiddo friendly, house broken, and crate trained (she sleeps soundly and mess free in her crate at night), and will “will melt into a puddle when you scratch her belly—it’s her ‘self-destruct’ switch!”
Because of Dolly’s youth and new-found health and zest for life, she will do best in a home without tiny dogs or kitty cats.
If you want to be part of Dolly’s amazing story, and show her that life is sooooo much better than what she has known in her first year, please apply to foster-to-adopt her:

TAF INTAKE: Please meet Mogwai, who needed our help after she arrived at the shelter with a severe femoral limb fracture and suspected abuse. She became a part of our Arrow Fund family, was able to undergo the surgery she needed to heal and move well, and has been charming everyone she meets, including her loving foster mom Rachael.
Rachael said she is a “pocket-sized miracle pup” and is the sweetest little 1-year-old who has already mastered the art of stealing hearts.
None of us have been able to pinpoint Mogwai aka “Mogie’s” exact breeds or genetic makeup. Rachael commented that “She is basically a build-your-own dog surprise pack.”
Once this 28-pound mystery mix cutie pie has fully healed, this girl is expected to live a totally fun‑filled, zoomie‑approved life.
She is fully house trained, great with kids, great with dogs, and “sweet as sugar.”
Mogie is approved for a foster-to-adopter if you are interested in bringing a cute, snuggly gremlin into your life to love and care for.
While she’s healing and under medical care, The Arrow Fund will cover all her medical needs! You just bring the love. ❤️
“She may be on activity restriction for a bit, but that hasn’t stopped her from being the most affectionate, easygoing little nugget,” wrote Rachael.
If you think Mogie might be your girl, fill out the application below and get ready to fall in love:

Bradley update: this young Shepherd continued to have gait issues and muscle atrophy in his left rear limb after his initial surgery, so our medical partners recommended amputation of his left rear leg so he could begin to heal fully and move freely without pain.
Bradley became part of The Arrow Fund family last winter as a young puppy after he was found lying in a ditch where people passed him in pain as he suffered from blunt force trauma to his pelvic area. He received FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) surgery, and has been recuperating and cared for by his foster mom Necey, who adores him.
Bradley will need a little time to recover from surgery, but this healthy, young dog should heal and move well soon and make a wonderful companion.
Necey said that Bradley is super “chill and laid back,” loves dogs, is cat friendly, and mostly house trained (he wore a large cast for a while during his initial recovery and just needed to learn what is expected of him now).
This smart, loving, easy-going guy will be looking for his forever family very soon.
Please apply to meet Bradley:
