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.

The odds were stacked against him at birth, and then humans made it worse.
Jonathan was born with a congenial birth defect in his front leg. If that wasn’t bad enough, his OTHER front leg was injured in a traumatic event.
Was it a car? Accidental fall? Intentional break? We may never know.
But when our local shelter, Louisville Metro Animal Services, reached out for help, he stole the heart of a TAF board member, and we said yes.
Jonathan has a long road to recovery, which will include surgery, and possibly a wheelchair.
Your support and donations will make it possible for him to live his very best life.
If you feel called to help, please consider donation for Jonathan—and other innocent animals who desperately need our help. 💜

Imagine being a senior dog who was abandoned by your family after they moved and left you—riddled with preventable tick-borne diseases, and left to lay in a kennel of your own waste.
Nelson didn’t have to imagine it - he lived it.
A TAF volunteer saw Nelson in eastern Kentucky, and knew he couldn’t be left behind.
Nelson has some strides to make that we will help him with: he will need to gain weight (as he has visible rib and pelvic bones), have a dental appointment to remove a tooth that can rotate in his mouth, take a regimen of meds to rid him of three tick-borne infections, receive vaccines he’s so desperately needed, and get his neuter surgery.
Since arriving in our TAF care, he has shown he is still ready to enjoy life - probably for the first time in his 10 or so years.
If he’s not enjoying a cozy bed, he is in a full body wiggle with happy tail wags.
Nelson will have a bit of ways to go before he’s cleared for adoption, but if you’re looking for a wonderful retirement buddy who would love to go for morning or evening walks, binge your favorite shows with you, and take naps during rain storms, please apply for Nelson.

If you didn’t get a chance to meet this sweet-eyed boy named Dobbie at our “Barkin’ On The River” adoption event today, please let us introduce you to this handsome pup!
Meet Dobbie – Your Next Adventure Buddy! 🐾
Don’t let his size fool you—Dobbie is packed with personality! This handsome little guy looks to be a mix of a Blue Lacy and a small terrier, perhaps a Jack Russell, giving him the perfect blend of athleticism, intelligence, and charm.
Dobbie is affectionate, playful, and always ready for his next adventure. Whether it’s hiking a trail, playing fetch in the backyard, or joining you on your daily walks, he’s happiest when he’s on the move with his people.
His ideal home is with an active individual or family who can give him plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a securely fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and burn off that fun-loving energy. In return, you’ll have a loyal sidekick who will keep you smiling every day.
Dobbie is:
• 🐶 Crate trained
• 🚽 Potty trained
• 🧠 Exceptionally smart and eager to learn
• ❤️ Loving, loyal, and full of affection
• ⚡ Energetic, playful, and always up for an adventure
If you’re looking for a dog with a big heart, an even bigger personality, and endless potential, Dobbie may just be your perfect match.
Give this incredible little guy the forever home he deserves, and gain a best friend who’s ready to take on life’s adventures right by your side.
