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.

Thank you so much to WAVE "Listens Live!" host Sean Baute, producer Jeremy Mertz, and the whole, animal-adoring team at WAVE--you all made sweet, gentle tri-pawd Bradley feel so loved and welcome there with his Arrow Fund friends!

Rescuing and helping animals heal that have been abused, tortured and/or severely neglected are part of the work TAF does.

At "Barkin' On The River," you can look forward to:
• Alfresco dining, family play, and plenty of dog-watching
• Beautiful, adoptable TAF dogs including Gentle Ben, Daisy Mae, Evie, Lawrence, and more! (with their fosters who can talk about each dog’s personality)
• Amazing silent auction items, including:
🛥️ A seaon pass boat detailing package (worth $800!) from Professional Boat Detailing of Kentuckiana
⚾️ Louisville Bats home game tickets for four & a Bats gift basket
🧢 Louisville Slugger factory tours for four
🥃 Michter's Distillery tour & tasting for eight
🥃 Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience
🍽️ A variety of restaurant gift cards
🛟 A Sea Ray Dog Life Vest (like the one Bradley had on at WAVE!) and much more!

Who exactly makes up sweet Evie? 🧬🐾
When Evie first came into our care after surviving severe neglect, our focus was entirely on her immediate medical crisis. Thanks to our incredible veterinary partners and her dedicated foster family, this resilient girl is finally healing, thriving, and showing off her amazing, unique personality!
Because of her incredible transformation and bravery, Evie has officially been named one of our two TAF Hero Dogs for July! 🏆
To celebrate her journey, we are kicking off Evie’s DNA Guessing Challenge to fund the medical care of the next animal who arrives at our doors. We ran a DNA test, and the official results will be in soon—but before they get here, we want you to lock in your best predictions!
How to join the collective fun:
1. Head over to our challenge page:
secure.qgiv.com/for/dnaguessingchallenge
2. Make a $5 donation per guess (every dollar goes directly toward our critical care medical fund).
3. Cast your official breed guesses!
🍷 Want to study your subject in person? Evie will be available for cuddles, treats, and ear scratches at Vines Wine Bar & Spirit Shop (1985 Douglass Blvd, Louisville, KY) on Friday, July 31st from 6-8 PM!
Come grab a glass, meet this month's hero in person, and finalize your theories.
The closest guess wins serious bragging rights and a special feature on our page with Evie herself. Drop your initial theories in the comments below, then lock them in at the link!
