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.

“I truly love humans, even though one put me in a house with a bunch of other dogs and didn’t come check on us much. We would all wait, so hungry and scared, hoping for any food, a little love, or even one clean place to sleep. I remember that the other dogs barked all day and night trying to get someone to come help us, and still no one came.
“I never lost hope or my faith in humans, though, and sure enough: one day, someone did come! Another day, lots of friendly and nice people came, and we all got to leave that place with the overwhelming smells and not enough food to eat.
“I got to leave with someone who spoke to me so sweetly, and took me to a place to make sure I was healthy. I had never smelled any place like it before, but they said I was a good and healthy boy. They said I could get my shots, and then get to meet my new family who would always have plenty of food for me—and even had a clean bed of my very own!!
“I went home with my foster dad, Jerod, who has been sooooooo nice! He smiles at me when I lean against him, and he’ll always stroke my side and face the way I love. He looks right back into my eyes when I gaze up at him to say, ‘thank you and I love you, too.’ He loves me if I’m feeling cuddly and when I need some play time.
"He’s a really good foster dad, and knows that yelling makes me nervous, so he talks in a normal voice. He likes when I cuddle with him, and told me I will find my forever family soon.
“I can’t WAIT to find a family of my very own. I promise to be a good boy, and I also promise to do almost anything you ask for a little treat.
“Treats are my favorite. Well, attention and affection are my favorites. Ok, I have three favorites.
“I hope one day very soon, I am your favorite. I promise to make you mine if you give me a chance to love you!”
Love and lots of big cuddles,
Dani 💚

🍷 🍻 🍸 We hope you’ll join us THIS SATURDAY, April 25th from 5-7 PM for Bradley’s TAF Hero Dog debut at Vines Wine Bar & Spirit Shop, 1985 Douglass Blvd. (just behind Twig & Leaf off Bardstown Rd. in the Highlands)!
This young Shepherd came to The Arrow Fund after he was hit and left to lie in a ditch in agony until a kind person finally stopped to pick him up and sought help. One of his rear legs could not be saved, but this cutie has not missed a beat.
Bradley has now healed and is moving really well as a super cute “tri-pawd” pup. He loves dogs, is kid and cat friendly, and is ready to meet his forever family!
If you’re interested in meeting Bradley and some of his adoptable TAF friends, please join us for a glass of wine, beer, or cocktail on Saturday evening!
🐾🐾 Apply for Bradley: new.shelterluv.com/form/other/TAF/133657-animal-adoption-for-the-arrow-fund
