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.

The 2026 Furry Derby Challenge: Help Us Hit the $5K Finish Line! 🏇🐾

The race is on and we hope you’ll help us to the finish line! The Arrow Fund is sprinting toward a $5,000 goal, and we need you in our stable.

We kicked things off with a Furry Derby PAW-TAY at Noble Funk Brewery, but the Stakes are High this year:

So far in 2026, The Arrow Fund has already rescued 52 animals and found forever homes for 43 (many of those from 2025).

Our mission to rehabilitate the cats and dogs who have been tortured, abused, or neglected never stops, but we can't cross the finish line without your support.

How to Bet on a Hero:

1. Visit www.thearrowfund.org
2. Hit the DONATE button.
3. Help us reach $5,000 by the end of Derby Day!

These resilient cats and dogs have endured the unthinkable—let’s show them they’re headed toward the winner's circle.

The 2026 Furry Derby

If you saw, heard, or know anything, please say something. This innocent creature was tortured. The cruelty toward her is unimaginable. Her screams could be heard as she suffered in agony.

Her torturers should be held accountable.

Please share any tips: Animals@Louisvilleky.gov

You can also message Louisville Metro Animal Services directly.
