Mission Statement

The Arrow Fund is a nonprofit that fights to rehabilitate the animal victims of torture and abuse and to bring awareness of and eliminate animal cruelty.

Description

The Arrow Fund is a Kentuckiana based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides medical treatment to animals who have been victims of extreme torture, abuse, or neglect. After securing care for these animals our focus extends to holding the abuser responsible for his or her actions. We strive to educate the public regarding the ongoing problem of animal cruelty and advocate strengthening our local, state, and national animal welfare laws.

We are a volunteer based organization led by our Board of Directors. Our Board Members are not paid for their services.

When The Arrow Fund is contacted, and the case fits our criteria, we take legal possession of the animal and transport him or her to an appropriate medical facility to secure treatment. Following medical treatment, the animal recovers with a medical foster, where he or she is also given the chance to acclimate to living indoors, and be assessed/retrained in preparation for a permanent home. It usually takes an extended period of time for the animal to recover physically and emotionally, but we will do what it takes to get him or her there and find the right home. Once the animal is receiving treatment, The Arrow Fund works with the proper authorities to pursue prosecution of the abusers. We also work with the news media and legislators to keep our community informed.
