How great to live in a dog friendly environment! I always look for that when I am planning a vacation!
You state you have a mental illness. Some mental health diagnoses might qualify you for a Psychiatric Service a Dog - would depend on your diagnosis and your needs. Your dog who have to be taught specific individual tasks that you require. California has about 3 state certified service dog schools with state certified trainers who could help you and your dog with those tasks (they have to be more than support and comfort). California is one of the states that requires that in addition to the Federal Laws.
