Education and Resources

How We Can Help:

• Providing Information: We can provide information about nonprofit organizations offering the services or resources you need.
• Connecting You: We can connect you with organizations that provide the services you require.

Steps to Get Help:

• Identify Your Needs: Clearly identify the type of support you need, whether it’s veterinary care, pet food, or other services.
• Reach Out to Us: Write to us detailing your specific needs.
• We Assist: We will try to connect you with organizations that can help meet your needs.

Note on Emotional Support Animals:

• Emotional support animals do not require special training.
• They are prescribed by a professional who can verify the need based on your disability.
• Beware of websites offering to "certify" emotional support animals.
• They can be any species and should be allowed in common areas of your community, though they might not be allowed at workplaces.

Note on Service Animals:

• Service animals are trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities.
• Only specially trained dogs and, in some cases, miniature horses are recognized by the ADA as service animals.
• The ADA mandates that service animals must be allowed to accompany individuals with disabilities in public areas.

By leveraging these support networks and understanding your rights, you can ensure that your pets and emotional support animals are well taken care of, even in challenging times.
