So, I guess we have to post three times before we have full access? An intro post, an "I will follow the rules" post and one other in this Intro Section? Do I have that right? I hope so, then this will be my #3 post.
I forgot to say in my intro post that I work for a small non-profit that helps handicapped and disabled people. One of the issues we deal with a lot is service and therapy animals. If anyone has any questions about that (especially in the state of Oregon) I can help. I know where to find info on other state rules and laws, too. So ask away.
The place I work for is a Center for Independent Living (a CIL) and we are part of a nationwide network so I can acess info and have contacts across the U.S. Things change fairly rapidly, especially in regards to "Companion" animals, "Comfort" and "Therapy" animals, as opposed to "Service" animals which includes Seeing-Eye Dogs and animals that actually "perform" a service, such as Seizure dogs and dogs for the Hearing Impaired. I can provide more info and definitions if folks want, but as is always true for the US, definitions, rules and laws vary widely (and wildly
from state to state.
