OK, so I just went to that service dog website that someone previously posted, and look what I found right there on the first page: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.
You should tell this to the hotel the next time you call. They can not discriminate against your situation, because under the ADA (americans with disabilities act) your son's dog calms his moods and keeps him in a relaxed state. (I'm sure your doctor can write you a letter w/ a legit reason). But for whatever reason you son needs to be with this dog, they can not discriminate against that just because you don't have papers for the dog or you can threaten with leagal action. |
