Introducing the Foundation

Introducing the Ottomatic Joy Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing future free therapy‑dog services to Florida’s Gulf Coast communities. Our mission is to bring comfort and joy to those who need it most, one visit at a time. It all begins with Otto, a golden retriever with a gift for showing up exactly when he’s needed.
 

Otto was born the end of July, and will be joining the Foundation on September 18th. While he’s not ready for therapy visits yet, the work starts now. Early support helps us cover the essentials: foundation start‑up expenses, puppy and therapy‑dog training costs, and the groundwork needed to grow a therapy‑dog program that will serve so many for years to come.
