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.

Happy news: Loretta was adopted!

After a rough journey in her very first year of life (she was almost euthanized in a shelter in Tennessee only to be “rescued” and then neglected with other dogs in a hoarding environment), this beautiful sweetheart has finally found the loves of her life!

She was adopted by a wonderful forever family, and now has a new human mom, dad, and 7-year-old brother, along with a senior chi mix sister named Lula!

“She’s doing great!” her adoptive mom said. “She’s acclimated to our family so well and really is learning quickly. She loves cuddles and being around her people! Definitely a very sweet girl with an adventurous side!”

Loretta also has a new name: Birdie! Her adopter said her little whines sounded more like bird chirps!

They said Birdie loves to play fetch, and go on boat rides with them. She even jumps into the water and loves to swim with them!

Please help us congratulate Birdie and a new life of joy with her amazing, loving, forever family!!

Thank you to her fosters and to Micky's House for helping her be successful in her new life!

Arrow Fund family: you make happy stories and second chances like Birdie’s possible.

Thank you for your care, your love, and your generosity. You help us save lives. 💜💜💜

TAF MEDICAL UPDATE: Ben is finally where he belongs—safe, loved, and on the road to healing. 💜

After everything he’s endured, this sweet boy is now with his loving Arrow Fund foster and getting the care he so desperately needed. Ben had surgery to repair his broken leg (with two plates) and to fix his degloved lip.

We also learned he is fighting hookworms, whipworms, two tick-borne diseases, and he is about 30 pounds underweight.

Right now, Ben is on 6 different medications, eating canned food while his mouth heals, and settling into a much softer life than the one he came from.

He’ll head back to the vet every two weeks over the next couple of months so we can keep a close eye on his recovery and make sure he continues moving in the right direction.

Most importantly, Ben is safe now.

He has a foster home, a treatment plan, and a whole team behind him cheering him on as he begins this next chapter.

Thanks to your donations, Gentle Ben is healing and being loved like he always should’ve been. Your support makes stories like his possible. Thank you! ❤️‍🩹

If you would like to help more animals like Ben get the help they need, we would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps us continue saying “yes” to animal victims of abuse when they need us most.

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month, and the days around Independence Day are among the busiest times of the year for lost pet reports. Fireworks may be fun for us, but the loud booms and bright flashes can be truly frightening for animals.

Before the fireworks begin, please take a few simple steps to help keep your furry family members safe:

• Keep pets INDOORS in a quiet, secure space.
• Use background noise (TV/music/white noise) to mask fireworks.
• Make sure collars, ID tags, and microchip information are up to date.
• Close doors, windows, gates, and pet doors before fireworks start.
• Do not bring pets to fireworks displays or crowded celebrations.
• Keep recent photos of your pets on hand, just in case.

This holiday, celebrate safely by keeping pets calm, comfortable, and inside at home!

Wishing you a wonderful and safe Fourth of July!

It’s too hot to walk them right now. Please see the message from our friends at Louisville Metro Animal Services.

Short breaks in the shade/grass only during this extreme heat. 🥵You may think you need to take your dog on a walk but a quick potty break and leg stretch for a couple minutes in the shade, on the grass is best.

Please take care of one another.
It’s too hot to turn a blind eye to a living being in need. ❤️‍🩹

*Picture taken last night in Louisville at 6pm. This is measuring the heat off the asphalt.
