On May 4, 2026 my dog Tatum was tragically hit and killed instantly by an oncoming car on East Ave in Warwick, RI.

Tatum was a 2 year old ESA Australia Shepherd with a look and personality no one who saw him would forget. He had bright blue eyes, a silly smile and the goofiest little face.

On the night of May 2nd, he decided to take a run away when outside peeing with his Mom and Dad into the woods. He never returned and unfortunately his Apple tag was not on him at the time he ran.

I want to turn this tragedy into a positive note after all the love and support the community of Warwick and Rhode Island has shown us. I want to raise funds so my family and I can purchase GPS trackers and/or Apple tags with holders so they can be placed on dog collars for those who may not be able to afford the tags but love their pets.
