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.

She was thrown away like she was nothing.

When she was found, her body told the story no one should ever have to live through. Her ears were grotesquely swollen—filled with maggots, leaking fluid, left to rot in pain. Her eyes were nearly sealed shut, her tiny body weak and worn down.

And still… she was gentle.

She had been used. Over and over again. Her body bearing the scars of breeding, including an old C-section incision that had become infected—ignored and left untreated. After everything she gave, this is how she was repaid… dumped and left to suffer alone.

But she didn’t give up.

She allowed a Good Samaritan to pick her up, bathe her and feed her. Because despite all the cruelty she endured, she still believed someone might help her.

And someone did. 💛

She is now safe with rescue, finally receiving the urgent medical care she’s been denied for far too long. Every wound is being treated. Every ounce of pain is being met with compassion instead of neglect.

Her road to recovery is just beginning. But for the first time in her life, she is no longer being used—she is being loved.

Please keep her in your thoughts as she fights to heal. And if you’re able, consider supporting her care—because saving her is just the beginning.

She was discarded. Forgotten. Left to suffer.

But not anymore. 🐾

Huge thanks to our newest junior advocates! 🧡🐾

We had a wonderful day at The Arrow Fund office with Annie, Lissette, and Peyton (7th grade) and Emma (2nd grade) from St. Rita’s. Along with parents Melissa and Daniel, these incredible volunteers put in the hard work to help us keep our mission moving forward.

We are so inspired by their dedication and can't wait to visit St. Rita’s soon to say thank you in person!

A Message from Peaches: Finding my footing 🧡

“For a long time, the world was a very small, very painful place.

“My home was a pile of garbage and filth. I wasn't alone—I had three dog friends with me—but they were tethered to a trash pile, and I was just trying to survive on paws that felt like they were on fire. Every step I took was a struggle. One of my paws had even ruptured, and without any medicine or a soft place to rest, the infection just grew. I thought the pain was just part of being alive.

“But then, everything changed. Some very kind people, true heroes, saw us. They didn't look away. They reached out to The Arrow Fund, and I heard the best words in the world: 'We will help!'

“My dog friends are safe in a shelter now, and I have been given a name as sweet as I am: Peaches.

“The doctors say I have something called ‘Pillow Foot’ (Pododermatitis). It sounds soft, but it’s actually a very painful infection that made my paws swell and bleed. I’m also a little unique—I was born with a short, bobbed tail! Luckily, the team found out that was just how I was made, not another injury I had to endure.

“For the first time in my one and a half years of life, I am safe. I am in a foster home where the floors are clean, the blankets are soft, and my paws are finally starting to heal. I’m taking antibiotics for the infection and steroids to help the swelling go down so I can finally walk without hurting.

“I’m finally in ‘motion’ toward a happy life, but I still need a little help to get there. My medical care, my medications, and my specialized recovery require ongoing support.

“Your gifts don't just pay vet bills; they give animals like me the chance to know what it feels like to walk without pain. Whether it’s a one-time gift or monthly support to keep the healing moving for the next rescue, every bit helps me find my footing.”

With purrs and healing paws,
Peaches 🐈🧡

Meet Dani 💚

Dani is a one-year-old bundle of joy with a heart as big as his smile—and trust us, that smile is award-winning.

This sweet boy was rescued from a hoarding situation, and despite his past, he’s proven to be incredibly resilient, loving, and ready to soak up all the good things life has to offer.

He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near his people. Whether you’re relaxing at home or out and about, Dani is happiest right by your side. He thrives on attention, leans in for affection, and will absolutely melt your heart with those bright, happy eyes.

Dani is friendly, affectionate, and eager to please.

He’s still learning what “normal” life looks like, but he’s embracing every moment—especially when treats are involved (his other true love).

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore you endlessly and remind you daily how special second chances are, Dani is your guy.

✨ Saved from hardship. Ready for his forever.

🐾 Come meet Dani and fall in love.
