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 Update: Peaches is cleared for adoption! 🍑 🐈🧡
This sweet, 1-year-old, sunshine-colored female kitty is a rare gem. Most cats who are abandoned outside do not survive long. She not only beat the odds, despite being discarded to fend for herself as a kitten, she managed to remain sociable and trusting. She even made friends with the dogs who were tethered to trash piles of rubble in her little corner of the world.
Through allergies and/or immune suppression as a neglected cat with no one to care for her, she developed horribly painful and inflamed “Pillow Foot” (pododermatitis) that ruptured on one of her paws, making every step torturous.
Someone found her and her dog friends and got them the help they needed. Someone did care. Because she required medical intervention and time to heal, The Arrow Fund was contacted, and we stepped up to help this sweetheart.
She’s healed well through the care and treatments from our Arrow Fund medical partners and with the TLC she’s received from her wonderful foster who thinks this girl is pretty special, too.
Her foster said she’s not only extremely loving with people, Peaches is also very friendly to other cats. “She came in and wanted to make friends quickly! She is super affectionate and very playful!”
🧡 🧡 🧡 If you want a sweetheart of a young kitty who seems to make friends with everyone she meets and has the kind of gratitude for the safety and comfort of a loving home that we often find in rescued animals, please apply for Peaches and give her a reason to purr herself (or you) to sleep every night:

🐱 For our cat lovers out there: this is National Adopt-A-Cat Month! If you can’t adopt Peaches right now, but want to help more abused/horribly neglected cats find a better life through The Arrow Fund, please make a donation in your favorite cat’s name or memory:

TAF Auburn Update: Look at what amazing care and lots of love can do!
The outcome of this baby’s life, at just 3-months-old, was precarious at best. He was suffering from a bite wound, juvenile cellulitis, and then, the life-threatening parvo virus.
Today, just one month later, he is healing and has turned a corner for the better.
You truly helped saved his life. With the generous support you give to these beautiful animals who have suffered and desperately need a second chance for good health and a loving place to recover, you make it possible for animals like Auburn to get the urgent help they desperately need.
Your gifts to our TAF medical fund clearly demonstrate that the lives of innocent animals who have suffered horrible abuse and neglect do matter. That someone does care. We cannot thank you enough for your gifts. You make the difference between life and death for these animals.
At Auburn’s recent checkup at Dogwood Veterinary Clinic, it was clear Auburn is now on the path to good health and a good life.
“Auburn was presented today for a recheck following his recent treatment for puppy strangles, parvovirus, and bite wounds. Puppy strangles, also called juvenile cellulitis, is an immune-related condition seen in young dogs that causes swelling and sores, often around the face. Parvovirus is a serious viral infection that affects the stomach and intestines, and the bite wounds were the result of a previous attack. Auburn has been through quite a lot, so it is awesome to see how far he has come!”
Auburn will return for another puppy checkup in two weeks, and will be in the care of his amazing Arrow Fund foster mom, Katie, who spoils him with love, kindness, puppy playtime, socialization, nutritious food for his growing body, and all the kisses and snuggles one puppy can ever ask for!

ALERT: TAF Emergency Intakes!
Our three most recent intakes have arrived from Wolfe Co., Ky.—each have suffered their own versions of hell from abuse, neglect, and cruelty. TAF family, we need you.
Meet Daisy Mae, Tori, and Gentle Ben:
DAISY MAE has suffered INCREDIBLY painful injuries from beatings. Her wounds are seeping, her fur is gone from severe demodex mange, and yet, she still seeks love. Her emotional wounds may heal faster than her physical ones. She will need lots of medical care in addition to vaccines, spay, and regular care until she’s healed.
TORI, her sister, while not as visibly hurt, is lethargic, vomiting unknown substances, and getting a thorough check up at the vet. We will need to make sure blood work and bacterial tests are done to ensure her long-term health and safety.
GENTLE BEN has suffered with a broken leg that someone tried to splint with a wooden spoon. In addition to a DIY (Do It Yourself) broken bone splint, he had a DIY dental treatment, consisting of super glue to close a wound in his mouth. In addition to a possible amputation (depending on the extent of his injuries), he will also need immediate dental care and treatment for any other ailments that were unknown to us at time of arrival.
TAF family, this is the reality we are facing: the emails don’t stop, the urgency of needs never seem to go away, and the cruel ways animals are treated never cease to amaze or disgust us.
We desperately need your help to care for them while they heal. Please consider donating. Even a share of this post will help share their stories, and help us collect much-needed funds while these beautiful creatures are in our care.
We promise to share updates on their healing journeys, and we so appreciate the support from our TAF family and community. ❤️🩹

🎉 ADOPTED! THE MIRACLE IS HOME 🎉
They called her Miracle for a reason. Gracie arrived at The Arrow Fund after surviving unspeakable cruelty—shot through the snout and used for BB gun target practice. But this beautiful soul refused to break.
Today, we are thrilled to share the ultimate triumph: Gracie has been officially ADOPTED! 🐾❤️
From a victim in a rural field to a survivor on her forever throne, Gracie’s spirit proved completely unbreakable. Thanks to her incredible fosters and your life-saving support, her wounds have healed, and she has chosen to love again. You gave her the second chance she so deeply deserved.
While Gracie celebrates her happily-ever-after, our mission never stops. Please consider donating today so we can shield the next "Miracle" waiting in the wings.
