Question: Does a disabled owner of a therapy animal have rights to public access?

Answer: Yes. Restrictions only apply if the Therapy Animal helps other people at school, hospitals, and other locations, but the owner/handler is not himself or herself disabled. A Therapy Animal can be owned by someone who has no disabilities.

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.
