Companion, emotional support, or therapy animals are not permitted.Only certified guide and service dogs that are under proper care of their owners will be granted accreditation.
The service animal must remain leashed or harnessed by their handler's side at all times. If a harness or leash impede the service animal’s work, the owner must be able to control the service animal through other methods.
