Healing abused and severely neglected animals through medical care, advocacy, and education.
We have a JOYFUL UPDATE to help make your holidays merry and bright!! Mama Martini—now named Oakley!—has been OFFICIALLY ADOPTED into her forever home, and has her very own human boy and girl to love, care for, and shepherd over.
This absolutely beautiful and sweet-natured young dog was found this past October wandering, skeletal and desperate, with two pups following closely behind. In desperation for any scraps, this emaciated mama finally sought the help of complete strangers.
A kind soul saw her, and called upon the community for help; The Arrow Fund was contacted for any assistance we could provide. Over the next three days, her 8 puppies were discovered by an incredible team of diligent and dedicated animal rescuers who delivered them all to safety.
After medical evaluation, the vet determined that she had kept her pups alive and safe while sacrificing her own needs and body to care for them.
The Arrow Fund found loving fosters for all of her pups (look for more upcoming adoption posts!), so that mama dog could begin to heal, gain weight, and get the TLC she so rightly deserves.
We promised this loving dog that she would never again starve in neglect, and found the perfect fosters who quickly asked to become her forever family.
With her new family, she has slowly gained weight in a healthy way, and was finally able to be spayed and medically cleared by her vet.
“Mama is doing well after surgery! She prefers to stay warm by the fire rather than play outside. Can’t blame her!”
This once cast-aside shepherd—pushed away to wander, starve, and fend for her new litter by herself—never once stopped believing in humans.
This Christmas, sweet Oakley will be celebrated and loved as the amazing dog she truly is by humans who will never stop believing in her. ❤️🎄

Wish there was a Kroger where I live. They aren't in Florida, unfortunately.
It’s official: Woodford is ADOPTED!!!
We are thrilled to report that Woodford (now “Woody”!) has been medically cleared, just had his first birthday, was officially adopted by his loving foster, and is now living his best life!!
The Arrow Fund rescued 10-month-old Woody when he was found suffering from a collapsed lung, bleeding from his eye and nose, and with a painful pelvic injury from blunt force trauma. He had been left on the road to die slowly and in excruciating pain.
Because of an amazing medical foster who took a keen interest in this sweet young dog, we were able to say yes to helping him immediately. She helped him regain strength and learn to open up again. Over the course of his healing journey, his foster fell in love with Woody.
After Woody was neutered and medically cleared by his vet, we made the adoption official—and just look at what a beautiful boy he’s grown into with her love and care!
She said he’s grown from being timid into being a big goofball that loves going to the park, has a great “singing voice” (hound speak for: “Arooooooo!”), and is quickly learning commands and tricks. She said this healthy guy, who once turned up his nose at any food from the vet hospital, will now do almost anything for treats!
We love hearing that, and we love even more that The Arrow Fund’s family of supporters helped make another love story from potential tragedy possible.
On behalf of Woody and from all of us: THANK YOU!! ❤️🐶❤️

"We take care of the severe cases in Kentuckiana," said The Arrow Fund Executive Director Thom Ham. "We usually end up taking the worst of the worst. And that's what we focus on. We focus on the ones that don't have any other hope of surviving."
