Bringing Comfort, Literacy & Hope One Paw at a Time
Embedded Files
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide comfort, healing, and hope to individuals and communities through therapeutic visits with specially trained and certified therapy dogs; breaking the stigma of Virginia Literacy, Mental Health, Bullying, and community well-being while educating facilities about the importance and benefits of therapy dog benefits and support where it’s needed most.
Our Vision
A world where every person facing mental health challenges, isolation, reading struggles, etc. has access to the healing power of therapy animals, creating stronger, healthier, and more compassionate communities.
🐾 A Sprinkle of Happiness Starts Here. ⬇️
Welcome to 101 Poodles for Healing, where we believe that even the smallest acts of kindness can make lasting impacts. Every wagging tail, every shared smile, and every story read together helps spread joy, comfort, confidence, and hope throughout our local and surrounding communities.
As a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we're dedicated to improving literacy, promoting mental wellness, advocating for dog safety, and meaningful community connections through fun, family-friendly animal-assisted activities.
Our certified therapy dog team, through Pet Partners, a nationally recognized therapy animal organization proudly serves schools, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes, community events, and other organizations by creating meaningful experiences that educate, inspire, and bring people together.
From interactive reading adventures and animated educational experiences to therapy dog visits and community events, we believe learning should be engaging, laughter should be contagious, and every child and family deserves a reason to smile.
Together, we're creating positive impacts: one paw, one book, and one smile at a time.
