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 INTAKE who will be ADOPTABLE SOON!

Little June came to The Arrow Fund at the end of January when she and her siblings were discovered after they had been dumped near a boat ramp.

We are thankful that these precious pups had not been thrown into the water to drown, and that a Good Samaritan found them and brought them to safety at LMAS.

One of June’s siblings (Johnny!) has already found his forever family, and June just had her spay surgery and should be cleared by her vet to also be adopted soon!

If you are interested in giving her the love and care she needs to thrive, and need the
unconditional love of a loyal dog in your life, June will be ready to be YOUR baby soon!

Please apply for June here:

Look what Janie’s

He's ADOPTABLE! 💜 Guess which pup is now happy, healed, and can't wait to meet his forever person?!

Sweet-natured David, who was found broken and starved along a lonely fence line this past winter by LMAS, has been slowly gaining weight at a healthy pace, healing from his surgery, and learning that he is among friends who care about him.

His adoring foster mom, Kelly, said this beautiful 1-year-old is:

- great with other dogs 🐕
- cat friendly (he pretty much ignores them!) 🐈‍⬛
- easy on the leash 🦮
- house trained 🏠
- crate trained 🛏️
- perfectly sized now (at 30+ pounds) 🐶

Please apply for this good boy and let him love and appreciate you for the rest of his days! ❤️
