Here's the thread I was talking about http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ervice+animals |
This info is correct, altho it differs from state to state but in New York State a dog needed for any handicapped person has the right to be anywhere. The rules I read were on a New York State web site on therapy dogs and siesure dogs, it continued to say that "even when a handicap was not eveident, as some are not, once you state the dog is there for a handicapped reason, the owner of the establishment is not allowed to ask you to leave. It is against the law. They are not even allowed to ask you what the handicap is... I copied these papers from the site and need to find them to fwoard you the web address. Keep your receipts because New York State WILL fine them when you reprot them. Also know that all hotels that are dog friendly charge between 20 to 50 more per night for having a dog with you, whether there is damage or not but they do not call it a fine. The fines will be returned if you report this hotel.
