Does anyone here have and emanation all support animal? I mentioned it to my T and she thought it was a great idea for me. So now I have to read more about them and find out if my work would left me bring a dog with me.

Any stories or experiences?
Thanks for this!

Depending on the training, emotional support animals can be service animals just like for the blind. They have to have the certification tho. With that, they can go anywhere a service dog can go, which is anywhere. I have looked into it myself, but my current place of living (mother, she hates animals) will not allow it, so I have to wait.

I have one and ADA law esquires that no one discriminate against your dog.
I went to servicedogregistry.org and got my dog certified. The cool thing about it is no pet deposit because it is against the law to charge that for a service dog/emotional support dog
Thanks for this!

I do not have one (I wish to have one in the future when I'm more financially stable and can afford to take care of a dog) but my friend does. Because she's certified as an ESA, my friend can take her anywhere a service dog is allowed, no landlords are allowed to discriminate against her or charge her more to live there because of the dog, that goes against the ADA.

You can be asked for proof of certification.
