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.

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.

Born into a life his human mom never asked for, Sully and his siblings were facing the prospect of being abandoned. Thankfully, his foster mama stepped up and said, "Not on my watch.”

Sully, his brother, Baloo, and sister Winnie, came to TAF to protect them from an unknown future. The mama dog was rescued by the finder, and unbeknownst to her, was pregnant at the time. His siblings have since found homes, but Sully? Still on the hunt for his family.

Thinking of adding a ridiculously cute puppy to your life? Let's see if he's checking your boxes!

📝 Kennel trained! Sleeps at night, and hangs out during the day when he can't be supervised and won't complain to upper management about it.

📝 SMART! Learning sit, almost totally potty trained, and ready to add more to his repertoire!

📝 Loves toys! Tug? His absolute favorite. Want him to pick you as his family? Better bring that rope!

📝 Dog friendly! Snuggles or playing - a dog friend would bring him a lot of joy!

📝 Snuggly! Absolutely does not mind being held, and says, "Yes please!" at any invitation to nap together.

If you're looking for a happy go lucky, spunky, brilliant little pup, Sully may be the right one for you. He's 12-weeks-old, and is available through TheArrowFund.org.
