Service Animals
Service animals are defined as dogs that are
individually trained to do work or perform tasks
for people with disabilities.
Under the ADA guidelines, service animals
must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless
these devices interfere with the service animal’s
work or the individual’s disability.
The work or task a dog 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 under the ADA.
