Service Animals

The rule defines "service animal" as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The rule states that other animals, whether wild or domestic, do not qualify as service animals. Dogs that are not trained to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a disability, including dogs that are used purely for emotional support, are not service animals. The final rule also clarifies that individuals with mental disabilities who use service animals that are trained to perform a specific task are protected by the ADA. The rule permits the use of trained miniature horses as alternatives to dogs, subject to certain limitations. To allow flexibility in situations where using a horse would not be appropriate, the final rule does not include miniature horses in the definition of "service animal."

This is the final rule:

Effective March 15, 2011, "Service animal means 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. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual's disability. Examples of work or tasks include, but are not limited to, 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, providing non-violent protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an individual during a seizure, alerting individuals to the presence of allergens, retrieving items such as medicine or the telephone, providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to individuals with mobility disabilities, and helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. The crime deterrent effects of an animal´s presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks for the purposes of this definition."

Since WikiAnswers will not allow us to post links, do a google search for ADA, service animal and rules. If the site doesn't end in .gov, then don't use it. Especially the sites that are trying to sell you things.

yes killing a police dog is just the same as a human officer .

Cal Poly does not offer AA degrees.

No. The Americans with Disabilities Act applies to state and municipal courts, but not to federal courts. Each federal court judge may decide whether to permit a service animal to enter his or her court.

Service and assistance animals (or service dogs in training) are not technically pets and owners do not have to pay pet fees. The landlord or apartment, however, can charge a security deposit and may still seek money from the tenant if there is any damage caused by the animal to the home.

both. my mum and my sister are very funny and pretty. i get on well with them because we go clothes shopping and my mum bought me a pair of bright pink vans! they were beautiful. i also like men, and go to an all boys school. mmmmmmmmmmm heaven!

This is a complicated question that should be answered by a qualified attorney. Some Federal laws, such as the Fair Housing Amendments Act, Section 504 of the Rehab Act, or Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act may protect some people with disabilities from being evicted because of a service dog. A qualified attorney can determine whether you qualify under any of these laws and whether or not your landlord is exempted under them.

INSTEAD OF A LARYNX with vocal chords, birds have a syrinx, a distended portion of the trachea. In the wall of the syrinx are two thin, oval membranes that vibrate and produce the bird's vocalizations.This is part of their communication cycle and to remove these unless done so for medical ground (the birds welfare) by a trained vet then it becomes cruilty

No. He/she can only ask two questions 1. Is this a Service Dog required because of a disability? and 2. What tasks does the dog do to help mitigate the disability. Please keep in mind, though there is no proof/papers required, faking a Service Dog can come with up to a year in jail.

Having a pet in the car does not automatically exempt you from a police dog search. Law enforcement may still conduct a search if they have probable cause or reasonable suspicion. However, the presence of a pet could influence the officer's decision, as they might consider the safety and well-being of the animal before proceeding. Ultimately, the legality of the search depends on the specific circumstances and applicable laws.

Yes. A valid service dog may accompany their handler anywhere the handler is allowed to go. The dog should be on it's best behavior. Service Dogs are not allowed to smell food, graze on the floor or poke their head/nose above the table top.

In a buffet line, the dog should just walk with the handler, usually on the side of the handler away from the buffet table. This places the handler between the dog and the counter.

I'm not sure what you mean by "asda," but in general guide dogs aren't responsible for knowing where things are. Their blind owners are responsible for that. The dog's job is to identify obstacles in the path of the owner and signal the owner about that obstacle. It is always the owner who directs the dog where to go and the owner who is responsible for keeping track of where they are by counting doors and road crossings and so forth.

There is a common misconception about the term "seeing eye." The "Seeing Eye" is a trademark of the Seeing Eye in Morristown New Jersey. They train only dogs, not ponies or miniature horses. Because "Seeing Eye" is a trade mark, there are NO "Seeing Eye Ponies."

However, the Guide Horse Foundation trains miniature horses as guides. It funds its guide horses through charitable donations. There is no charge to the recipient. Changes in the wording of the federal regulations for service animals, including guide animals, which are expected to go into effect January 1, 2009 will exclude miniature horses as acceptable animals for service work. "The term service animal does not include wild animals (including nonhuman primates born in captivity), reptiles, rabbits, farm animals (including any breed of horse, miniature horse, pony, pig, or goat), ferrets, amphibians, and rodents." Will be added to the definition of "service animal" in 28 C.F.R. 36.104.
