The Arrow Fund

It Began With an Arrow …

The Arrow Fund was created in March of 2013.  The name literally comes from an arrow used in an extreme act of cruelty. 

A male black Labrador, who had been shot at close range with a hunting arrow, was picked up wandering fields and woods in eastern Kentucky.  Pleas for help were sent out all over the state.  However, at the time there was no organization in Kentuckiana that specialized in rehabilitating severe cruelty cases, especially those needing specialty veterinary care.

A dedicated group of animal advocates not only helped that dog, called Aiden, get the emergency treatment he needed but also the loving  home he deserved. From that, The Arrow Fund was created , a group specializing in rehabilitating the animal victims of torture, extreme abuse, and neglect and to create public awareness of the ongoing problem of animal cruelty.  Since its inception, The Arrow Fund has helped hundreds of innocent dogs, cats and other animals move from a life of horror to a life of compassion and comfort.
