Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals
II. Service Animal Defined by Title II and Title III of the ADA
A service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Tasks performed can include, among other things, pulling a wheelchair, retrieving dropped items, alerting a person to a sound, reminding a person to take medication, or pressing an elevator button.
Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals either. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability. It does not matter if a person has a note from a doctor that states that the person has a disability and needs to have the animal for emotional support. A doctor’s letter does not turn an animal into a service animal

Sacred Paws Service Dogs is a registered 501 c-3 non profit charitable organization. EIN# 84-2476280. We exists to train service dogs and place them at no cost, in order to assist military veterans that have been diagnosed with trauma related mental and physical disabilities as a result of their military service. Our motto is Heal The Healer.
Our clinical approach is primarily holistic cognitive based mindfulness therapy, utilizing canine assisted desensitization and intervention techniques that are evidence based and medically proven to mitigate negative symptoms of post traumatic stress, military sexual trauma, major depression and anxiety disorders. We also have the ability to train our dogs to assist those veterans with mobility impairments in order to help them live a more productive lifestyle.
Paws Not Pills!
We adhere to and promote Assistance Dog International (ADI) training standards. It typically takes 2 1/2 to 3 years to properly train a service dog from birth to placement. Depending on what type of service, and tasks the individual dog is being trained for and the needs of the veteran. There are a number of considerations and qualifying factors prior to starting your path towards a service dog:
