Service Animal Policy

- Definitions
Service Animal: A Service Animal is any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. In some cases, a miniature horse may be permitted as a Service Animal. Other animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not Service Animals. Examples of such work or tasks performed by a Service Animal may include assisting individuals who are blind or have low vision with navigation and other tasks, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to the presence of people or sounds, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an individual during a seizure, helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or disruptive behavior. Service Animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a Service Animal has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as Service Animals.
