TERMS & CONDITIONS for Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Application

ESA REQUIREMENTS

First, I will need a referral from your doctor stating that you need an Emotional Support Animal and that they believe you are capable of and will likely be a good pet owner. In other words, you cannot have anger management issues, or physical limitations that would prevent you from taking your dog out to go potty or to be able to follow a good feeding/watering schedule.

Secondly, I'll need proof of low income. (Example: A letter from your state, county, or Social Security approving you for financial assistance dated within 6 months from date you are applying with us.) You will be required to make a minimal investment of $200 of your own money. In this way you show you value this beloved companion and that it’s not just a “free dog” that can be neglected or discarded.

Thirdly, I will need a referral from your landlord stating that you are a stable tenant. You don’t move frequently. You have a safe environment for a dog and that you have permission to have this dog. I will need phone numbers and addresses so that I can make calls to verify the information.
I will provide an adoption agreement that you will be required to sign.

Finally, our hope (NOT a requirement) is that you will share with us updates on your dog every now and then and allow us to share your experience on the website.
