Hi everyone!
Next Monday is the first Monday of July so we will be kicking off our Service Dog support chat. Come to chat and ask any questions you have, find out how service dogs and ESAs can help improve your quality of life or help you with your mental health disorder. Service dogs and ESAs have had great effect on people with depression, PTSD, panic attacks, autism, and a wide range of other disorders. Have a service dog or ESA already? Join me in helping answer questions and sharing stories about how your dog has helped you. (If you have another type of service animal or emotional support animal, you are, of course, invited and welcome to join the chat. We're not just limited to dogs.) Seesaw |

Sounds good Hope I remember! (In the USA only dogs can be service animals now... but others can be ESAs still.)

Actually, JD, miniature horses can be service animals in the USA, believe it or not. It's at 7pm Eastern time.

Ok I'm not going to argue...but the newest ADA guidelines put them in a support role not as a service animal very clear that ONLY dogs for service.... it's in the link
(Yeah I'm not really happy about it... because look at all that monkeys are trained to help with!) __________________ |

JD, there is a specific special provision that covers miniature horses and they have all the rights of a service dog.

guess you don't need me in chat anyway sorry I missed it.
My comment was ONLY DOGS... there are only SERVICE DOGS now... no service horses, no service monkeys, no service "animal"s but dogs... etc. Yes, there are a few other allowed ESAs and yes, horses do have their own tag. Sorry you took that so personally... nothing diminishes their need and assistance __________________ |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
