This animal is protected under federal law and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) through Veripaw.org. Veripaw is part of the nation’s largest Support Animal registry; the US National Service and Support Animal Registration Database.

I am a disabled person and my rights as such are protected under Federal and State law. Violation of these rules of law can incur substantial penalties.

This Emotional Support Animal was prescribed by a physician or mental healthcare provider as an integral part of a treatment plan for its handler. Federal laws specifically allow Emotional Support Animals to live and work with their handlers. The Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 generally require that a buyer or renter of a residence be granted a reasonable accommodation for an Emotional Support Animal that allows the animal to live with the disabled person. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) generally requires employers to reasonably accommodate an Emotional Support Animal in the workplace. Many states reinforce these federally granted rights through their own applicable laws. If you have questions concerning your legal responsibility to the bearer of this ID card or ESA Letter, you should consult with the US Justice Department, your state Attorney General, or your attorney.

The handler of this Emotional Support Animal may contact [email protected] with any legal questions concerning your rights and/or responsibilities.
