About the Arrow Fund
compassion. comfort. care.
It all began with an arrow…
The Arrow Fund, Inc., was officially created in March 2013. The name comes from an arrow used in the act of cruelty.
A male black Labrador, shot at close range with a hunting arrow, was picked up wandering fields in Eastern, Kentucky. At the time, no organization in Kentucky specialized in rehabilitating severe cruelty cases, especially those needing specialty veterinary care.
A dedicated group of animal advocates helped find treatment for that dog named Aiden and found him a happy home. It was then decided to create a nonprofit specializing in rehabilitating animal victims of extreme abuse and neglect. They also wanted to create public awareness of the ongoing problem of animal cruelty, and from that, The Arrow Fund was born.
Since its inception, The Arrow Fund has helped countless innocent dogs, cats, and other animals move from a life of horror to a life of healing and comfort.
