How does PC Housing feel about Service Dogs?
PC Housing is pet friendly, in fact, we have a pet friendly office - we want to make your move into temporary housing easy and we can discuss your specific requirements. It is important to understand the difference between Therapy Dogs, Service Dogs and Emotional Support Dogs.

A Service Dog and Emotional Support Dog are therapeutic to its disabled owner. Because they are specifically trained to directly help their handler, Service/Emotional Support Dogs have the legal right to go everywhere and live in housing even when pets ARE NOT allowed or specific breeds are not allowed. A landlord CAN NOT ask about your physical or emotional disability as they must treat all prospective tenants the same.

Several of our clients have Therapy Dogs and the use of these dogs is endless.The job of a Therapy Dog is to make physical contact with people, allowing them to feel comforted by the physical experience.Therapy dogs do not provide direct assistance to their owners, nor do they have legal rights to access public areas or travel everywhere. Additionally, the American Disabilities Act does not apply to Therapy Dogs.
