Service Animals

Service Animals: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Requires reasonable accommodation by public entities and accommodations for “service animals,” where this means “any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability.” In some circumstances, this can also extend to miniature horses. Explicitly does not apply to emotional support animals.

If one of our local businesses states that they are open to “service animals only,” please adhere to the guidelines above.
