Service Animals

MOAH is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which defines service animals as a dog that is trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.
​
According to the ADA, the dog must be trained to take a specific action when needed to assist the person with a disability. For example, a person with diabetes may have a dog that is trained to alert him when his blood sugar reaches high or low levels.
ⓘ Certified service animals are welcomed and allowed in MOAH’s public areas. However, the following questions may be asked of each guest with a service dog:
- Is the service dog required because of a disability?
- What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
