Where are you allowed to take your assistance animal in public places?

Posted on by

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), access must be granted in public places to Service Animals but not for Emotional Support Animals or Therapy Animals. These places of public accommodation include parks, schools, beaches, restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas, libraries, museums, retail stores, and other locations.

Places of public accommodation must allow Service Animals to accompany their disabled owner/handler. Emotional Support Animals are permitted only under the location’s own rules which are sometimes the same rules the provider has for ordinary pets. ESA access is not legally required.

Are you an owner of an assistance animal?

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.

Dani Bates, a sophomore nursing major from Arlington, finds comfort in her Emotional Support Animal, Lucy. Lucy helps Bates by reducing her stress at the university.

Bates had to comply with the all the requirements that would get Lucy approved to bring her into the hall. One of the requirements was a document that had to be signed by her doctor to confirm her medical condition. Her roommates also had to sign approval forms.

Since Lucy is an Emotional Support Animal, there are areas in the university where she is allowed and prohibited. ESAs that cause disruptions are to be reported by students. Luckily, Bates’ roommates have been very fond of Lucy. A roommate quoted, “she’s just like a fifth roommate.”

The university is considering to accommodate ESAs. Guidelines are being prepared as to what service animals will be allowed on campus. Full implementation of the new policy will take effect in the fall of 2017.

Just recently, a veteran and his service animal got hired by Lowe’s hardware store in Texas.

The story began when Air Force veteran Clay Luthy, applied for a job at the store. He was accompanied by Charlotte, his service dog which was a 10-year old golden retriever. Charlotte’s job was to make sure that Luthy got the support he needed should he fall. Luthy could not bend his left knee.

Jay Fellers, a human resource manager at Lowe’s, saw that both Luthy and Charlotte showed up for the interview. The hardware store was happy to hire them both.

Before Luthy landed a job at the store, he had difficulty getting employed by other companies. Now, you can spot Charlotte in her very own Lowe’s vest working alongside Luthy. Lowe’s customers have never been more delighted.
