At the National Animal Registry, we are dedicated to assisting individuals who rely on Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) by providing tools and documentation to navigate housing and public access laws effectively.

Service Animals and ADA Compliance

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with disabilities are entitled to be accompanied by their trained service animals in most public places. To support this right, we offer resources that help service animal handlers understand their legal protections and responsibilities. Our tools include templates and guidance for:

• Identifying and documenting the tasks your service animal is trained to perform.
• Understanding your rights in public accommodations and transportation.
• Communicating effectively with businesses and public entities regarding your service animal.

Emotional Support Animals and Housing Rights

While ESAs are not recognized under the ADA for public access, they are protected under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) for housing accommodations. We provide resources to help ESA owners:

• Obtain legitimate ESA letters from licensed mental health professionals.
• Understand their rights to reasonable accommodations in housing, even in properties with no-pet policies.
• Navigate interactions with landlords and housing providers to ensure compliance with FHA regulations.

Our Commitment

The National Animal Registry is committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to uphold their rights concerning service animals and ESAs. Our resources are designed to facilitate compliance with federal laws and to promote harmonious relationships between animal handlers, businesses, and housing providers.
