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 adoptable PIXIE: You may have seen some preview photos of this little cutie pie who came to The Arrow Fund out of Logan County, Ky. with medical neglect. After surgery this past winter to set her broken leg, she has been healing and thriving in loving foster care.
She just had her spay surgery and her cast removed, so once she has the “all clear” from her vet, she can be your new baby!
Pixie is an 11lb., 2-year-old Jack Russell mix with sparkly eyes, a friendly demeanor, and a fondness for lap cuddles. Her amazing foster, Lois, said this pup LOVES attention and her humans! She does well with dogs more her size but may need a slower introduction to warm up to bigger dogs.
Lois laughed and said Pixie will voice her disapproval if you are slow with her meals—or if squirrels or birds dare to land in HER yard! As a toy/treat, Pixie loves Nyla bones best!
Are you ready to make this cutie a part of your family?

Our “Meet Me At The Mall” two-day event with several of our TAF adoptables (or soon to be adoptable!) was a tail-wagging success!
Although we had several potential adopters say they fell in love, it’s not too late to fill out your application for any of these pups that you would like to meet and/or learn more about.
Please fill out our adoption app for any to give them a loving home and a life they’ve always deserved:

TAF INTAKE: emaciated Shepherd-Aussie mix out of Clay County, Ky.
This severely-neglected 1-year-old was one of a dozen dogs brought to a high-intake shelter serving three counties in Kentucky. Without outside help, all 12 were at risk for euthanasia. Because of the swift action of some truly amazing animal advocates, rescue organizations, transport coordinators, and volunteers, 9 of those dogs were able to be saved. Three had to be humanely euthanized.
“Rescue partners stepped up for the dogs who were injured, emaciated, and pregnant—things that require resources and funding beyond what we’re able to provide long-term,” the Knox-Whitley Humane Association wrote in their post. “To every rescue, volunteer, and transporter who stepped in today and used their personal vehicles to get these dogs out: thank you. Because of you, 9 dogs are on their way to safety and second chances.”
This sweet-faced and emaciated small shepherd mix was one of those that were severely neglected and needed longer-term help to recover; he only weighs 18lbs. Veterinarians advised that his healthy weight should be around 40-45lbs.
When The Arrow Fund was contacted, we immediately said YES—he will now be a part of our TAF family to get any medical, nutritional, and longer-term foster care he needs to recover!
Please meet “Clay”; this gentle boy will be evaluated by one of our Arrow Fund medical partners, get the vaccinations he needs to stay healthy, heal from his neuter surgery, and will now know what real, loving care feels like and what nutritious food tastes like forevermore.
YOU make rescue stories like this possible with your gifts. The Arrow Fund is only able to say yes at a moment’s notice to saving abused, severely neglected, and at-risk animals because of the compassion you demonstrate with each and every gift.
Once Clay’s medical expenses have been covered, any additional donations will be put into a TAF medical fund, so that we can say YES immediately to saving more animals. Your love and support make giving animals like Clay a second chance possible.

Please join us in congratulating Rosie on her new forever home!!
Her adopter, Sallie, fell in love with Rosie after seeing her sweet face on The Arrow Fund’s posts, and knew right away that she wanted to meet her.
Rosie came to The Arrow Fund out of Floyd County in Eastern Kentucky as a stray who had suffered devastating injuries and had been left, frightened, on the side of a road.
She was rescued by a kind stranger, taken to a shelter, and later transported by a team of wonderful volunteers to TAF so she could receive extensive surgery on her pelvis and to remove one of her legs.
She was able to recover beautifully with plenty of TLC in an Arrow Fund foster’s care and was finally ready to meet her forever family.
Rosie and Sallie are an amazing match and are clearly thriving together.
“I will love Rosie like crazy for the rest of her sweet life 💕💕,” Sallie said.
Congratulations to both Rosie and her new “mom” Sallie!! 💖💖
