What is an Emotional Support Animal?
An emotional support animal is any animal whose presence helps provide emotional comfort and support to someone with a mental or emotional disability. This animal also must be prescribed, by a licensed mental health professional in the individual's state, to be part of their treatment plan.
Unlike a service animal, an ESA isn't trained to perform specific tasks to help with a disability. However, an ESA's simple presence can help reduce feelings of isolation, help motivate their handlers to perform daily tasks, and can provide an overall sense of mental wellness. Since they're deemed medically necessary, an ESA must be allowed to live with their handler, regardless of a property's pet policy, and is exempt from all breed or weight restrictions, as well as pet fees, deposits, or pet rent.
