Foreword

This transmission is dedicated to the retentivity of Pax, a devoted guide canis familiaris, and to all the handler and dog teams working together across the nation. Guide dogs make it possible for their handlers to travel safely with independence, freedom and nobility.

Pax guided his handler faithfully for over x years. Together they negotiated countless decorated intersections and safely traveled the streets of many cities, large and small. His skillful guiding kept his handler from injury on more than i occasion. He accompanied his handler to business concern meetings, restaurants, theaters, and social functions where he conducted himself as would any highly-trained guide domestic dog. Pax was a seasoned traveler and was the beginning domestic dog to wing in the cabin of a domestic aircraft to Dandy Britain, a country that had previously barred service animals without extended quarantine.

Pax was born in the kennels of The Seeing Eye in the beautiful Washington Valley of New Jersey in March 2000. He lived with a puppy-raiser family for almost a year where he learned bones obedience and was exposed to the sights and sounds of community life—the same experiences he would soon face up as a guide dog. He and so went through four months of intensive training where he learned how to guide and ensure the safe of the person with whom he would be matched. In Nov 2001 he was matched with his handler and they worked as a squad until Pax's retirement in January 2012, after a long and successful career. Pax retired with his handler's family, where he lived with ii other dogs. His life was total of play, long naps, and recreational walks until his death in Jan 2014.

It is the sincere promise of Pax's handler that this guide will be useful in improving the understanding almost service animals, their purpose and office, their extensive training, and the rights of their handlers to travel freely and to experience the same access to employment, public accommodations, transportation, and services that others take for granted.

I.  Introduction

Individuals with disabilities may use service animals and emotional support animals for a variety of reasons. This guide provides an overview of how major Federal civil rights laws govern the rights of a person requiring a service animal. These laws, too as instructions on how to file a complaint, are listed in the last section of this publication. Many states also have laws that provide a different definition of service animal. You should bank check your state's law and follow the police force that offers the most protection for service animals.  The document discusses service animals in a number of unlike settings as the rules and allowances related to admission with service animals will vary according to the police practical and the setting.

Ii. Service Animal Defined by Title 2 and Title 3 of the ADA

A service animal means whatever domestic dog that is individually trained to practice work or perform tasks for the do good of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Tasks performed can include, among other things, pulling a wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, alerting a person to a sound, reminding a person to have medication, or pressing an lift push.

Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Championship Three of the ADA. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals either. The work or tasks performed by a service beast must be directly related to the individual'south disability. Information technology does not matter if a person has a note from a doctor that states that the person has a disability and needs to take the animal for emotional support. A doc's letter of the alphabet does not plow an animal into a service animal.

Examples of animals that fit the ADA'southward definition of "service animal" because they have been specifically trained to perform a job for the person with a disability:

· Guide Dog or Seeing Middle® Canis familiarisⁱ is a carefully trained dog that serves as a travel tool for persons who take severe visual impairments or are blind.

· Hearing or Signal Dog is a dog that has been trained to alarm a person who has a significant hearing loss or is deafened when a audio occurs, such equally a knock on the door.

· Psychiatric Service Dog is a dog that has been trained to perform tasks that assist individuals with disabilities to observe the onset of psychiatric episodes and lessen their effects. Tasks performed by psychiatric service animals may include reminding the handler to take medicine, providing safe checks or room searches, or turning on lights for persons with Mail Traumatic Stress Disorder, interrupting cocky-mutilation by persons with dissociative identity disorders, and keeping disoriented individuals from danger.

· SSigDOG (sensory signal dogs or social indicate domestic dog) is a domestic dog trained to assist a person with autism. The canis familiaris alerts the handler to distracting repetitive movements common among those with autism, allowing the person to cease the move (eastward.g., mitt flapping).

· Seizure Response Dog is a dog trained to assistance a person with a seizure disorder. How the canis familiaris serves the person depends on the person's needs. The dog may stand guard over the person during a seizure or the dog may become for help. A few dogs have learned to predict a seizure and warn the person in accelerate to sit downwardly or motion to a safe place.

Under Championship Two and Three of the ADA, service animals are limited to dogs. However, entities must make reasonable modifications in policies to permit individuals with disabilities to employ miniature horses if they have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities.

III. Other Back up or Therapy Animals

While Emotional Back up Animals or Comfort Animals are often used as part of a medical treatment program equally therapy animals, they are not considered service animals nether the ADA. These back up animals provide companionship, relieve loneliness, and sometimes help with depression, anxiety, and sure phobias, merely practice non have special training to perform tasks that assist people with disabilities. Even though some states accept laws defining therapy animals, these animals are non express to working with people with disabilities and therefore are not covered by federal laws protecting the apply of service animals.  Therapy animals provide people with therapeutic contact, usually in a clinical setting, to improve their physical, social, emotional, and/or cerebral performance.

Four. Handler'southward Responsibilities

The handler is responsible for the care and supervision of his or her service animal. If a service brute behaves in an unacceptable style and the person with a inability does not command the animal, a business or other entity does not have to allow the animal onto its premises. Uncontrolled barking, jumping on other people, or running away from the handler are examples of unacceptable behavior for a service animal. A business has the right to deny access to a dog that disrupts their business. For example, a service dog that barks repeatedly and disrupts another patron's enjoyment of a moving picture could be asked to leave the theater. Businesses, public programs, and transportation providers may exclude a service animal when the animal's behavior poses a straight threat to the health or safety of others. If a service animal is growling at other shoppers at a grocery shop, the handler may be asked to remove the animal.

· The ADA requires the animal to be under the control of the handler.  This tin can occur using a harness, leash, or other tether.  However, in cases where either the handler is unable to concur a tether because of a inability or its use would interfere with the service creature's safe, effective performance of work or tasks, the service animal must exist under the handler'south control by some other means, such as voice control.²

· The beast must exist housebroken.ⁱⁱⁱ

· The ADA does not require covered entities to provide for the care or supervision of a service creature, including cleaning upwards later the beast.

· The animal should be vaccinated in accordance with state and local laws.

· An entity may as well assess the type, size, and weight of a miniature horse in determining whether or not the horse volition exist immune admission to the facility.

5. Handler's Rights

a) Public Facilities and Accommodations

Titles II and III of the ADA makes it clear that service animals are allowed in public facilities and accommodations. A service animal must be allowed to back-trail the handler to any identify in the building or facility where members of the public, program participants, customers, or clients are immune. Fifty-fifty if the business concern or public programme has a "no pets" policy, information technology may not deny entry to a person with a service animal. Service animals are non pets. So, although a "no pets" policy is perfectly legal, it does not let a concern to exclude service animals.

When a person with a service animate being enters a public facility or identify of public accommodation, the person cannot be asked almost the nature or extent of his disability. Merely two questions may be asked:

ane. Is the animal required because of a inability?

2. What work or chore has the creature been trained to perform?

These questions should not exist asked, however, if the brute's service tasks are obvious. For instance, the questions may not exist asked if the canis familiaris is observed guiding an private who is blind or has low vision, pulling a person's wheelchair, or providing assistance with stability or balance to an private with an appreciable mobility inability.⁴

A public accommodation or facility is non allowed to ask for documentation or proof that the brute has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service fauna. Local laws that prohibit specific breeds of dogs do not apply to service animals.⁵

A place of public accommodation or public entity may non ask an private with a disability to pay a surcharge, fifty-fifty if people accompanied by pets are required to pay fees. Entities cannot crave anything of people with service animals that they do not require of individuals in full general, with or without pets. If a public accommodation normally charges individuals for the damage they cause, an individual with a disability may be charged for harm acquired by his or her service animal.^{half dozen}

b) Employment

Laws prohibit employment discrimination because of a disability. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation. Allowing an individual with a disability to have a service fauna or an emotional back up fauna accompany them to work may exist considered an adaptation. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which enforces the employment provisions of the ADA (Title I), does non take a specific regulation on service animals.⁷ In the example of a service animal or an emotional back up animate being, if the disability is not obvious and/or the reason the animal is needed is not clear, an employer may asking documentation to establish the existence of a disability and how the fauna helps the individual perform his or her job.

Documentation might include a detailed description of how the animal would help the employee in performing job tasks and how the animal is trained to behave in the workplace.  A person seeking such an accommodation may suggest that the employer permit the animal to accompany them to work on a trial basis.

Both service and emotional back up animals may be excluded from the workplace if they pose either an undue hardship or a straight threat in the workplace.

c) Housing

The Fair Housing Act (FHA) protects a person with a disability from bigotry in obtaining housing. Under this constabulary, a landlord or homeowner's association must provide reasonable accommodation to people with disabilities so that they take an equal opportunity to enjoy and employ a habitation.⁸ Emotional support animals that practice not qualify as service animals under the ADA may all the same qualify every bit reasonable accommodations under the FHA.⁹ In cases when a person with a disability uses a service creature or an emotional support animal, a reasonable accommodation may include waiving a no-pet rule or a pet deposit.^x This beast is not considered a pet.

A landlord or homeowner's association may not ask a housing applicant about the beingness, nature, and extent of his or her disability. However, an private with a disability who requests a reasonable adaptation may be asked to provide documentation then that the landlord or homeowner's clan tin can properly review the accommodation request.¹¹ They can ask a person to certify, in writing, (1) that the tenant or a member of his or her family is a person with a disability; (two) the need for the animal to assist the person with that specific disability; and (iii) that the brute actually assists the person with a disability.  It is important to keep in listen that the ADA may use in the housing context as well, for example with student housing. Where the ADA applies, requiring documentation or certification would not be permitted with regard to an animal that qualifies as a "service animal."

d) Education

Service animals in public schools (K-12) ¹³ – The ADA permits a student with a inability who uses a service animal to have the animal at school.  In addition, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act let a educatee to utilize an creature that does not meet the ADA definition of a service animal if that pupil's Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Section 504 team decides the animal is necessary for the student to receive a free and appropriate education.  Where the ADA applies, however, schools should be mindful that the use of a service animal is a right that is non dependent upon the determination of an IEP or Section 504 team.^fourteen

Emotional support animals, therapy animals, and companion animals are seldom allowed to accompany students in public schools. Indeed, the ADA does non contemplate the use of animals other than those meeting the definition of "service beast."  Ultimately, the determination whether a student may utilize an beast other than a service brute should be made on a example-by-case basis by the IEP or Section 504 team.

Service animals in postsecondary pedagogy settings – Under the ADA, colleges and universities must let people with disabilities to bring their service animals into all areas of the facility that are open to the public or to students.

Colleges and universities may have a policy asking students who employ service animals to contact the school's Disability Services Coordinator to annals as a student with a disability. Higher education institutions may not require any documentation most the training or certification of a service animal. They may, however, crave proof that a service creature has whatsoever vaccinations required by state or local laws that use to all animals.

e) Transportation

A person traveling with a service fauna cannot exist denied access to transportation, fifty-fifty if there is a "no pets" policy. In addition, the person with a service brute cannot be forced to sit in a particular spot; no additional fees tin can exist charged considering the person uses a service creature; and the client does not have to provide accelerate notice that s/he will exist traveling with a service fauna.

The laws utilise to both public and private transportation providers and include subways, stock-still-route buses, Paratransit, rail, light-rail, taxicabs, shuttles and limousine services.

f) Air Travel

At the finish of 2020, the U.Southward. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that it revised its Air Carrier Admission Act regulation on the transportation of service animals by air. We are working to update the information provided below to marshal with the changes. While nosotros have the time to update our information, check out a summary of the changes available on DOT's website. Yous tin can also detect some boosted data in DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection's article about service animals.

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) requires airlines to let service animals and emotional support animals to accompany their handlers in the motel of the shipping.

Service animals – For prove that an animal is a service animal, air carriers may ask to meet identification cards, written documentation, presence of harnesses or tags, or ask for verbal assurances from the individual with a inability using the beast. If airline personnel are uncertain that an fauna is a service animate being, they may ask one of the following:

ane. What tasks or functions does your brute perform for yous?

2. What has your animal been trained to do for you?

3. Would you lot describe how the animate being performs this chore for you lot? ¹⁵

Emotional back up and psychiatric service animals – Individuals who travel with emotional support animals or psychiatric service animals may need to provide specific documentation to constitute that they have a disability and the reason the animal must travel with them. Individuals who wish to travel with their emotional support or psychiatric animals should contact the airline ahead of time to notice out what kind of documentation is required.

Examples of documentation that may be requested by the airline: Current documentation (not more than than 1 twelvemonth old) on letterhead from a licensed mental health professional person stating (ane) the passenger has a mental health-related disability listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM Four); (2) having the animal accompany the rider is necessary to the passenger's mental wellness or treatment; (3) the individual providing the assessment of the passenger is a licensed mental health professional and the passenger is nether his or her professional care; and (iv) the date and type of the mental health professional person's license and the state or other jurisdiction in which information technology was issued.¹⁶ This documentation may exist required every bit a condition of permitting the animal to back-trail the rider in the motel.

Other animals – According to the ACAA, airlines are not required otherwise to bear animals of any kind either in the cabin or in the cargo hold. Airlines are gratuitous to adopt whatsoever policy they choose regarding the wagon of pets and other animals (for example, search and rescue dogs) provided that they comply with other applicable requirements (for example, the Animal Welfare Deed).

Animals such as miniature horses, pigs, and monkeys may be considered service animals. A carrier must determine on a example-by-instance basis co-ordinate to factors such every bit the fauna's size and weight; state and foreign country restrictions; whether or not the animal would pose a directly threat to the health or safe of others; or cause a fundamental amending in the cabin service.¹⁷ Individuals should contact the airlines alee of travel to observe out what is permitted.

Airlines are not required to ship unusual animals such as snakes, other reptiles, ferrets, rodents, and spiders. Foreign carriers are not required to send animals other than dogs.¹⁸

Six. Reaction/Response of Others

Allergies and fearfulness of dogs are not valid reasons for denying admission or refusing service to people using service animals.  If employees, beau travelers, or customers are afraid of service animals, a solution may be to allow enough space for that person to avoid getting close to the service animal.

Most allergies to animals are caused by direct contact with the animal. A separated infinite might be adequate to avoid allergic reactions.

If a person is at run a risk of a pregnant allergic reaction to an animal, information technology is the responsibleness of the business or government entity to notice a fashion to accommodate both the private using the service fauna and the individual with the allergy.

VII. Service Animals in Training

a) Air Travel

The Air Carrier Admission Act (ACAA) does not permit "service animals in preparation" in the cabin of the aircraft considering "in training" condition indicates that they practise not yet run into the legal definition of service animal. However, like pet policies, airline policies regarding service animals in training vary. Some airlines permit qualified trainers to bring service animals in training aboard an aircraft for training purposes. Trainers of service animals should consult with airlines and become familiar with their policies.

 b) Employment

In the employment setting, employers may be obligated to permit employees to bring their "service animal in grooming" into the workplace as a reasonable accommodation, particularly if the animal is being trained to aid the employee with work-related tasks. The untrained creature may be excluded, however, if it becomes a workplace disruption or causes an undue hardship in the workplace.
