About The Arrow Fund Founded in March 2013, The Arrow Fund (TAF), named in honor of Aiden, a Labrador shot at close range with a hunting arrow, became the first organization in Kentucky to specialize in rehabilitating severe cruelty cases. Today, our mission is to provide veterinary care and support to animal victims of extreme torture, abuse, and neglect; increase public awareness of animal cruelty; encourage criminal prosecution of abusers; and support efforts for a more humane world for animals. We provide fostering, rehoming, and public education on animal cruelty and its links to human violence. We are the only organization in Kentucky specializing in abuse and neglected animals, helping many animals transition from horror to healing.
