Emotional Support Dog Application

An emotional support dog can provide comfort, companionship, and support in daily life. Please understand that an emotional support dog is not the same as a service dog. Service dogs are trained to perform specific tasks related to a person’s disability and generally have public access rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Emotional support dogs do not have those same ADA public access rights and may not be permitted in places where pets are prohibited. Please answer the questions below so we can learn about your needs and determine whether this program may be a good fit.

​

Thank you for taking the time to complete our application. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the program, but it does begin our interview process. Please allow up to 3 business days after submission for a member of our team to contact you to schedule an interview.
