How You Can Make a Pawsitive Impact

Tatum provides therapeutic support to families and youth experiencing the trauma of homelessness and chronic housing instability. Help strengthen Tatum's work with these resilient families, with an impactful donation that empowers families on their journey.


SPONSORED - THANK YOU! 

A Pawsitive Impact: Annual Named Sponsor of the HFF Facility Dog Program – $15,000 

Be a pioneer in supporting our innovative Facility Dog Program, the first of its kind in Ohio for a housing organization such as ours! In partnership with Canine Companions, this program positions HFF as a leader in trauma-informed care approaches for families and youth facing homelessness. For 20 hours each week, Tatum provides therapeutic comfort, anxiety reduction, and a sense of security to individuals navigating the trauma of displacement and instability of both episodic and chronic homelessness during client visits and intakes. Your generous contribution will offset a portion of the annual operational costs associated with our dual-handler program, ensuring the best care of our four-legged client advocate. 


Canine Care - $3,000

Offsetting routine care, heartworm, flea & tick medication, and annual veterinary costs for Tatum helps her to be at her best in her crucial role of supporting families and children experiencing housing instability. Tatum works hard to help reduce anxiety, foster trust, improve client motivation, and create a calming environment, facilitating healing and emotional resilience in these vulnerable families. Ensuring that Tatum remains healthy and able to perform in her therapeutic role is vital to the ongoing success of our trauma-informed care approach. 


Full Bowls for a Year - $750

To ensure our facility dog remains healthy and energetic throughout the year, you can cover the cost of Tatum's food and treats for an entire year. Your contribution will provide vital nourishment, ensuring Tatum can continue offering the unconditional love and support that makes a real difference in the lives of the hundreds of families and youth we serve throughout the year.
