Healing abused and severely neglected animals through medical care, advocacy, and education.
DAISY IS HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!! We have such joyful news to share that Daisy, who was once starved, horribly neglected, and seen as nothing more than a puppy-making vessel, has found a family who will love, cherish, and protect her for the rest of her life!
Please help us congratulate Daisy and her new family!! Elizabeth, Daisy’s new “mom,” perhaps understands even better what it means to give someone who has suffered from abuse a second chance for a life of happiness and hope, as she is the executive director of a women’s and children’s crisis shelter.
"When my husband and I chose to adopt a rescued dog, we did so because—after more than 30 years working in the field of family violence and trauma—I understand all too well the devastating impact abuse and neglect have on both people and animals,” Elizabeth said. “At The Center for Women and Families, we support individuals of all ages and their pets, because we know that animals often endure the same harm as the humans who love them.
"Adopting Daisy and becoming her forever home means giving her safety, consistency, and the assurance that she will never be hurt again. Offering a dog who has known abuse and neglect the chance to feel protected and cherished is finally profoundly rewarding. Like most pets, all Daisy wants is to be loved—and to know she is safe."
Daisy’s story that began with lonely, starved days of longing for someone to care for and feed her has now opened to a new chapter filled with an abundance of love, joy, care, and kindness. Her second chance was truly made possible through the unwavering dedication of a network of Arrow Fund fosters and a trainer who stepped up for her when she needed them most.
Please help us thank her AMAZING fosters Jaime, Necey, and Doug, who opened their homes and hearts to Daisy. She also had a devoted trainer in John Imler, who cared deeply about Daisy’s well-being and success. Thanks to these remarkable individuals, Daisy was granted not just survival but the opportunity to truly “live” a life filled with joy and belonging.
No longer just another badly neglected animal, Daisy is now tucked in, secure and valued, ready to be loved on through the holidays and every day for the rest of her life by a family who understands deeply the profound difference that kindness and compassion can make in rediscovering happiness, especially for those who have faced hardship and abuse.
This holiday season and beyond, Daisy will experience the happiness that comes from being truly loved. ❤️❤️❤️

PUPPY BRADLEY UPDATE: This sweetheart needed to have his shattered left knee and both broken femurs and tibias set with surgical pins over a three-hour surgery last week at Elk Creek Animal Hospital, and has been doing well in recovery at the hospital.
His surgeon, Dr. Brad Rohleder, said his plans are to repair Bradley’s hip in several weeks when the pup’s legs have had more time to heal and the pins can be removed.
This baby sustained blunt force trauma and damage from road rash after being struck by a vehicle before he was left to die in agony in a ditch on the side of a road in southern Kentucky.
He was picked up a few days later and transported by kind strangers who got him to the help he needed after reaching out to The Arrow Fund. They saved his life.
Three-month-old Bradley will now be confined to strict crate rest in an Arrow Fund foster’s home while he rests, heals, and gets plenty of loving care.
Although the pup’s injuries are severe, Dr. Brad thinks that this beautiful boy will be able to walk and live a happy, active life after Bradley has his repair surgeries and is given time to heal with great care.
We will keep you updated and let you know when this sweet pup goes back for his hip surgery. 💜
Thank you for loving him and supporting him. He now has a big Arrow Fund family on his side. Please keep him in your thoughts as he begins the long healing process. 💜
