6 Can Service Dogs be for Emotional Support? Federal law: No. “Support animals” that provide emotional support do not qualify Dogs for crime deterrence do not qualify But service dogs can be used for psychiatric and neurological disabilities
7 Don’t Ask for Certification Library may not ask about patron disability nor for animal certification (may be self-trained) Library may ask (if not apparent): “Is animal required because of disability?” “What task is animal trained to perform?” examples: navigation, assisting during seizure, retrieving items, support for mobility 28 CFR § 35.136 Service animals See also Calif. Civil Code § 54.2 Service dogs
8 IMPORTANT: Check local ordinances MAY GIVE MORE RIGHTS TO PATRONS San Francisco requires libraries to allow: Service animal: “any animal” trained to perform tasks for person with a disability, such as dogs, birds, monkeys… Support animal: “any animal” assisting people with psychological disabilities, such as cats, snakes Service and Support Animals Source: http://www.sfgov2.org/ftp/uploadedfiles/mod/SvcSupportAnimal.pdf Hesperia City Council Vote scheduled March 1 st Facebook “Save our service animals”
