Are you familar with the case in S.F. where a DOG killed a woman in the apartment complex? that was several years ago.
I am not sure but I didn't think a property owner or apartment complex can discriminate against a service dog because of its breed. I know that for general pets they can, however.

We all remember the Diane Whipple case back in 01--that was so tragic. It really only takes one bad owner to ruin it for everyone but thats a whole different subject. My Dobe does his part to help counter the breed perception by regularly volunteering as a therapy dog :) My Yorkies are too busy-bodied that there are times I feel like I need therapy after being with them! :D j/k!

It is nOT considered disciminating , when A service dog would make an apartment complexes insurance premiums go up... The propertys owners have the burden of proof, if A tenant decides to take the matter to court. I also have seen and know these breeds to be docile . Iam sure of one thing that there needs to be "reasonable accomadations" made for a service animal.
There are few reasons why a Owner could deny a request of a service animal. #1 it will change the structure of a building, #2 insurance will go up , the tenant is also responsible for meeting the needs of the animal, and can lose the privillage of have the dog on the premisis if the animal causes too much noise, scares people, tears up the property, or leaving behind animal feces . Or the dog is not leashed or vaccinated, or licenced.
When i brought Suzi on the apartment complex I needed to sign papers and the manager took a picture of her.

You can in the state of Alabama. (not sure if it differs by state) The company I work for just went through this with a man and his Pit. They have restrictions against tenants with breeds classified as aggressive. Now whether or not his dog was truly a service animal is still up in the air, but the end result ruled in our favor and he was not allowed the dog in the end.

Service Dogs
 
Just to clarify for all who have questions about service dogs and what is considered a service dog...any dog who provides a service for a disability, whether its mental or physical can be considered a service dog. Service dogs are not to be mistaken for therapy dogs...therapy dogs are dogs who have been trained to bring happiness into ones life and many times are taken to schools, nursing homes, and hospital to brighten up ones spirits. I hope this helps for anyone who has question about service and therapy dogs.

Service dogs
 
I'm sorry but no one and I do mean no one can tell you that you cannot live in a particular apartment complex or condo due to the type of service dog you have. It is against the law and that person can receive a huge fine for doing so. Plus, if taken to court the apartment complex or condo or whomever will lose. The excuse that their insurance will go up is bogus because not even the insurance company can increase the premiums because of the breed of the service dog.

my yorkie & my epilepsy
 
I have epilepsy and after my seizures I get chest pressure cuz my heart
stops then starts up again. My yorkie hops on my chest and sits on it where it hurts. It is comforting and the warmth of her little body on my chest really
helps. She also knows when Im not feeling well and she licks my face
I guess it is a warning to go lie down

I dont know what others do, my yorkie works for me

I guess she is a service dog on that aspect

and then she keeps me company and loves me and gets me to laugh
that aspect is a therapy dog or companion dog

I know in our complex on the reasonable accomodation it states very clearly that no dog listed on the insurance dangerous list is allowed for any reason. I believe it lists , Akita, Dobermans, Rottweiller, Pitbulls and a couple others, UNLESS it is a certified therapy dog, NOT a service animal those animals need to be under 50 pds. We have 90 children in our complex , they recently went to court with a tenant who had a pitbull, the tenant lost.

Andy is a therapy dog see if putting this picture in works

safety
 
URA I agree with you so mine would be a service dog as she comforts
me before and after my seizrues and I have hearing loss she barks when
someone comes to the door

I am not taking her out to nursing homes etc even though that is
a wondeful thing

I have been to my vet they tested to make sure my doggie not a danger
to others and for sure she is not

and I keep my yorkie confined and I dont let others just go up and pet
my yorkie as I dont want anything to happen

I am very protective of my yorkie

My vet just laughed as they tested her to make sure is not a harm to
others He said this little thing? We have to be sure...lol..she is safe to
others

I am afraid of pitbulls and dobermans one bit my daughter
years ago

People need to remember the responsiblities a dog needs

I would like to share a good article written about service dogs gone wrong in San Francisco. Warning... it's five pages long.
