The lady and I have a lot in common...I too am an attorney in her early 30's and I have an SD. I wasn't insinuating that you need to be elderly to have an SD, I was saying that the elderly lady may have a condition that qualifies for an SD, but even if she doesn't, then she may still qualify for an emotional support dog, which is permitted access under housing laws, but not under the ADA Marsha

There is a woman in her early thirties who happens to be an attorney that has one a few buildings up from me. She is the one that told me about getting the script from the Doctor. She says Condo's are afraid of the word SARA Act and won't even question it further. Mine you I have no personal experience on that. What my Condo did was lie for 30 years saying it was in the Documents that you could not have a dog. When someone asked the President if this was true he said no. That's how I have my 2 CHi's. I hid the first Jack Russel and 1st Chi for 5 years. I was fortunate they did not bark ever. Trying now to train Raina not to bark. She is 5 months old now and I don't know what she does when I'm not there with the workman, but I control her after I'm home when she does bark. marsha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Maybe if the lady is elderly, she could look into an SD or emotional support dog......even those dogs for psych disorders that normally don't fall under ADA access, will fall under housing laws...she may be able to get a small dog under one of these if her doctors can state that she needs one for her mental or physical well being.....

I have an elderly relative in Illinois. Her doctor told her that a small companion pet would be ideal for her since she is on her own and has never married or had children to check up on her. She lives in a condo (that she owns) in a senior building and the homeowners association still refuses to allow her to have a pet. She had already decided on a litter-box trained chi that she had gotten to know and it is really sad that she can't have one.
