What is a service animal?
The ADA defines a service animal as any dogs or miniature horses whose work or tasks are directly related to the individual’s disability. If the animal meets this definition, the animal is considered a service animal under the ADA, regardless of whether the animal has been licensed or certified by a state or local government. A service animal is not a pet. Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or herself. Guide dogs are one type of service animal most people are familiar with. But there are service animals that assist persons with other kinds of disabilities in their day-to-day activities. Some examples include:
- Alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds.
- Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments.
- Assisting persons with mobility impairments with balance.
However, animals whose sole function is to provide emotional support, comfort, therapy, companionship, etc. are not “service animals” under the definition.
