Amendments were recently made to the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw to permit people in Calgary to have livestock as emotional support animals in their homes. Common livestock animals that are allowed include chickens, miniature horses, and pigs. Exotic animals do not belong to the list.

Calgarians who hold the permit to keep ESAs must be able to care for and maintain the animal, as stated in the terms and conditions of the permit. According to Jennifer Lawlor, business strategist for Calgary Community Standards, the amendments are a means of supporting mental health in Calgary. For more information, visit calgary.ca.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
