No I’m not asking for legal advice, I’m more asking like where to start and what benefits it might offer my roommate.

Brownie is an awesome friendly dog, and I think he deserves the badge of emotional support animal. Question is, where to start?

    ESA is easy. You just need a therapist to sign off on it. ESAs don’t require training, but also don’t get any real benefit other than being allowed to keep it even if your landlord doesn’t allow pets. They are not certified as work animals, and don’t get a pass taking them into public places like service animals do.

      Thank you and other helpful commenters for the good advice, but by far this is the most clear and concise advice 👍
