Have you ever considered getting or do you have a service, working, therapy, or emotional support animal to help with your medical condition?

Share a picture of your furry-loved companion (does not have to be for your medical condition)! We'd love to see them!

If you have a service, working, therapy, or emotional support animal, what was your experience getting him/her?

Ask a question(s) to our members if you are thinking about exploring getting one.

    1. Hi , there are some legitimate agencies that offer certificates, but there is a lot of feedback that the certificates are a scam. I wanted to share this with you, that will hopefully be helpful: https://www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/ -Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
