Emotional Support Animal
Most pet owners would agree that their pets provide them a sense of comfort and joy emotionally that they would not have known without their furry friend. An emotional support animal is a “prescribed pet” that is aimed to specifically help those with mental health conditions. At Help Starts From Within, our professional counselors can properly evaluate if you qualify for an ESA using specific criteria.
If qualified, your ESA will be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Fair Housing Act, allowing you to house your ESA without discrimination or “pet rent.” In simpler terms, you cannot be denied housing for your pet’s breed or weight, nor can you be charged additional fees for having an animal.
Please be advised there is a difference between an Emotional Support Animal, a Therapy Dog and a Service Dog. For reference, please review below:
