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.

Subject: Dead spiders, matted wire, and 100 dogs.
The call came from near Ashland. A piece of acreage. A maze of outbuildings. A nightmare hidden in plain sight.
When authorities broke the gate in April, they didn't just find a "hoard." They found a production line of suffering. Nearly 100 dogs, 30 cats, and 60 horses—living as "caged creatures" in a space where the air was thick with the cost of greed. These weren't pets. They were inventory.
The Arrow Fund answered the call.
While Guardians of the Rescue triaged the masses, we stepped into the chaos to pull three souls from the wreckage: Cyndi-Lou, Forrest, and Norm. When they hit our intake table, the reality of Ashland hit us. Their fur wasn't just matted; it was a graveyard. We found dead spiders embedded in their ears. We found wire—literal wire—twisted into their hair. They were hollow, underweight, and terrified of a human touch that didn't involve a cage door.
But resiliency is a powerful thing.
Look at them today.
Cyndi-Lou: The matted wire is gone. The fear has been replaced by a family. She is being adopted by her fosters this week. She’s never looking back.
Forrest: Only a year old and finally learning what it means to be a puppy. He’s mastering the basics and looking for a leader to show him the way.
Norm: A 105lb. "Gentle Giant." Likely an Irish Wolfhound mix, this 6-year-old soul is pure grace. He’s house-trained, kid-friendly, and waiting for a couch big enough for his heart.
No animal should ever live as a "product." No soul should have to survive on acreage where hope goes to die.
We are the turning point. You are the fuel.
Help us continue the work for the ones still waiting for their second chance.

They fight to stand. We walk to honor them.
Resiliency requires movement.
On May 31, we kick off a month-long mission to rebuild the lives of the abused and neglected. We’re starting at EP "Tom" Sawyer Park, Shelter 1, with a high-energy Pups & Pilates session led by the incredible Erica Scott.
This isn’t just a workout. It’s the starting line for The Arrow Walk. We are challenging the Louisville community to walk 1 mile a day for 30 days this June. Whether you’re on the mat or on the trail, you are providing the surgeries, the therapy, and the second chances these animals deserve.
Details: 📍 EP Tom Sawyer Park, Shelter 1 🗓 Sunday, May 31 | 11:00 AM 🎟 $25 Pups & Pilates Registration
