My Aunt has been suffering from severe depression for
years. Thankfully she has Zoie now. She lost her husband a few years ago, and Zoie has seriously been her savior. She never wants to leave the house without her. She even turns down trips and/or excursions or will come home early from fun activities if she thinks Zoie will be home alone too long. When she's not in Zoie's presence she thinks about her constantly and looks sad. Having Zoie has changed her life, and she can finally say she's happy! So, knowing my Aunt's past, I feel she could and should qualify for an emotional support dog. I don't know if this matters, but she's 65, is disabled, and has a hard time walking.
If you have one, what are the qualifications? How do you go about getting the certification? Do you have to file with the state?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks!
