Service Animals

St. Catherine University provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with a disability. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. 

The ADA makes a distinction between psychiatric service animals and emotional support animals. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
