Your Donation Makes a Difference.
Other Ways to Support
Whether you are a donor, third-party fundraiser, or supporter of community events we participate in, there are a number of ways you can help Ottawa Therapy Dogs reach more individuals in need of ‘pawsitive’ support.
Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend Charity Challenge Partner
Ottawa Therapy Dogs is proud to participate as an official Charity Challenge partner in the annual Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. You can show your support for this year’s event taking place on May 24 - 25, 2025 in one of three ways:
-
Break out your running shoes and sign up for any distance using OTD’s registration link here.
-
Share our unique link here and OTD will receive a $5 referral donation on behalf of Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend for every registration.
-
If you are unable to join the walk or run, you can still donate as part of our charity challenge here!
Make a Gift to the Ottawa Therapy Dogs Endowment Fund
A gift to the Ottawa Therapy Dogs Endowment Fund through the Ottawa Community Foundation is an investment in the long-term sustainability of the organization. Your donation will provide OTD with the resources to plan ahead well into the future, ensuring our visits can continue to impact community members for generations to come.
Established in 2019 with a generous legacy gift from the Estate of Mrs. Beryl Montgomery, the Ottawa Therapy Dogs Endowment Fund is managed and invested by OCF—a public, non-profit organization created by and for the people of Ottawa. Beryl and her late husband, Clifton Montgomery loved animals and dogs, in particular their pet chihuahua Chico. Their generosity enabled OTD to create an Endowment Fund which has had a significant impact on elevating the capacity of the organization.
