Service animal means any dog individually trained to do work/perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability. Work/tasks performed by service animals include more than guide dogs for visually impaired people. Trained service animals are not pets and cannot be treated like pets. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. An employee or volunteer shall not ask about the nature or extent of a person’s disability but may ask to see paperwork verifying that the animal is indeed a service animal and not a pet or emotional support animal.
