A service animal is 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.
ASK them if it is a SERVICE ANIMAL specifically trained to help them with a disability? SERVICE ANIMALS do not ride in purses or shopping carts - these are PETS and this is gross.
The crime deterrent effects of an animal's presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship ARE NOT considered work or tasks under the definition of a service animal.
To determine if an animal is a service animal, a public entity or a private business may ask two questions:
1. Is this animal required because of a disability?
2. What work or task has this animal been trained to perform?
A public entity or a private business may ask an individual with a disability to remove a service animal if the animal is not housebroken or is out of control and the individual is not able to control it.
A service animal MUST have a harness, leash or other tether, unless the handler is unable to use a tether because of a disability or the use of a tether would interfere with the service animal's ability to safely perform its work or tasks. In these cases, the service animal must be under the handler's control through voice commands, hand signals, or other effective means. If a service animal is excluded, the individual with a disability must still be offered the opportunity to obtain goods, services, and accommodations without having the service animal on the premises. HARNESS AND LEASH DOES NOT MEAN RIDING IN SHOPPING CARTS.
A public entity or private business is not responsible for the care and supervision of a service animal. NO RIDING IN SHOPPING CARTS!
A public entity or private business cannot ask nor require an individual with a disability to pay a surcharge or deposit, even if people accompanied by pets are required to pay such fees.
If a public entity or private business normally charges individuals for the damage they cause, an individual with a disability MAY BE CHARGED for damage caused by his or her service animal.
