• The service animal must be housebroken and well groomed.
• The animal can go anywhere that humans are allowed except for situations that may compromise safety or program objectives.

If it is unclear whether the animal is a Service Animal (there is no harness, they are distracted from their owner, or it is acting disruptively) you are allowed to ask the following two questions:

• Is the animal required because of a disability?
• What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?

  • Intoxication or clear impairment.
