Lola brings smiles and tail wags to those who need a bit of brightness in their day. Ottawa Therapy Dogs is a very important organization within our community.

2025 is a milestone year for Ottawa Therapy Dogs, as we celebrate 25 years of ‘Good dogs doing great work!’. As a charitable organization, volunteer handlers work with their own dogs to provide comfort and relief to individuals coping with physical and/or mental health challenges at healthcare, educational and social services facilities across the National Capital Region. To help sustain our programming for years to come, we are raising funds to help bolster recruitment so we can expand our volunteer teams. By supporting this initiative, you will be helping us extend our reach, ensuring more individuals can benefit from the healing power of therapy dogs. Together, we can create a lasting impact in our community.
