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.

Mama Heavens: Her Turn for a Second Chance
Mama Heavens survived an outdoor nightmare, braving the elements, traffic, and traps just to survive. But that hard life is a distant memory now. This resilient girl has completely left her past behind and is officially ready to find the forever home she has earned.
She is a total angel and the perfect addition to any family.
Why Mama Heavens is Absolute Perfection Right Now:
❤️ Kid-Approved: Her absolute favorite routine is gently tucking herself into bed with her 5 and 7-year-old foster siblings.
🐾 Dog-Friendly: She loves to play with other pups but is equally content just relaxing nearby.
🌳 Gentle Leash Walker: A peaceful "smell the roses" walker who never pulls or rushes.
🦴 Zero Puppy Drama: She is well past the destructive phase and happily occupies herself with a bone or toy.
💤 The Nap Queen: A total couch potato and the undisputed master of the midday siesta.
🎵 The "Thumper" Tail: Earned her nickname because her tail rhythmically thumps against the floor the second she sees her people.
Mama Heavens is ready for the pampered life she always deserved. Let’s get this beautiful survivor into her forever home!

I am walking to help all the Lucys and Ronnies out there! 🐾
Look at my sweet cat Ronnie and dog Lucy. They are safe, loved, and pampered—but so many animals in Kentucky never get that chance.
As we hit the second week of The Arrow Walk, I want us to think bigger. Raising money for The Arrow Fund’s restricted medical fund is life-saving, but wishful thinking won't stop the torture, abuse, and horrific neglect happening across the Commonwealth.
This June, as you lace up your sneakers, I challenge you to ask yourself: What can I do on a personal level to bring justice to these animals?
Here is how we can move from walkers to advocates:
🏛️ Act Locally: Get to know your county shelter and local humane society. Find out what they need. Can you volunteer? Can you become a foster parent? If you can't give your time, consider consistent in-kind or financial support.
⚖️ Fight for Better Laws: Kentucky currently ranks 47th in the nation for animal protection. We can, and must, do better. Watch for The Arrow Fund's legislative alerts, and don't be afraid to call your state representative and senator to demand stricter animal welfare laws.
I am endlessly grateful for everything you do for these resilient survivors. Please, keep on walking!
— Shelia Joneleit, Executive Director, The Arrow Fund
P.S. It is not too late to join us! You can still register for The Arrow Walk, grab your dogs, and raise life-saving funds from your friends and family. Let's walk for the ones who can't.
