Emotional Support Animals in Alabama

Thanks to a growing awareness of the importance of mental health, many people have come to understand and embrace the therapeutic benefits of having an emotional support animal. In Alabama (and other U.S. states), there is legislation in place that protects your right to live with your ESA, as long as you have a legitimate emotional support animal letter.

ESA Laws in Alabama

Under the terms of the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), airlines are no longer required to admit emotional support animals on flights. Only service animals have this protection. However, the airline may consider accommodating you and your assistance animal if you can provide a valid ESA letter – you’ll never know unless you ask! Make sure to submit your request in plenty of time before you plan to travel, and be prepared for the airline to require your ESA to travel as an ordinary pet, instead.

When it comes to visiting public places, the guidelines are much the same – venues are not obliged to admit your emotional support animal. Doing so is entirely at the discretion of the owner or manager. However, you could always try presenting your ESA letter to see if they might make an exception. 

On a more encouraging note, Alabama residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), which require landlords to make reasonable accommodations for emotional support animals, as long as the tenant can provide a valid ESA letter. ESA owners are also exempt from additional pet fees, deposits, and breed and weight restrictions. 

However, keep in mind that in Alabama, it is a misdemeanor to falsely claim that an animal is a service animal. Get the proper documentation and always be truthful about the role your assistance animal plays in your mental health treatment plan. If you are unsure about the difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal, we recommend that you read the relevant section in the FAQ list below.

How Do You Qualify for an ESA in Alabama? 

Only a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) who is authorized to practice in Alabama can properly assess your symptoms and determine whether you have a mental or emotional disability and a disability-related need for an emotional support animal. Examples of qualifying conditions include (but are not limited to) anxiety, depression, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Advantages of Having an Emotional Support Animal for Alabama Residents

Eliminate Pet-Related Housing Costs

One of the main advantages of having an ESA letter for your support animal is that it protects both you and your pet in most living situations. This includes waiving any additional charges for rent, deposits, or pet fees. Furthermore, it permits the presence of your ESA in your residence even if the housing provider enforces a strict no-pet rule. This ensures you can retain your support animal in your home, provided they do not represent a danger to the property or other residents.

Encourages a Healthy Daily Schedule

Possessing an ESA necessitates responsibilities that aid in forming a consistent, healthy daily routine. Engaging in activities like playing with your ferret, taking your dog for walks, or feeding your snake not only encourages physical activity but also shifts focus away from daily stressors, promoting overall well-being.

Enhances Mental and Emotional Well-being

The act of looking after a support animal contributes to enhanced mental and emotional well-being. Your ESA plays a crucial role in alleviating feelings of solitude, offering essential companionship, and fostering feelings of confidence and self-esteem.

What our pet parents are saying

Verified customers. Real reviews.
An image of Maddee W and her dog
I had an incredible experience with Pettable. I had just moved and was looking for a new therapist, but knew an ESA would really help me with the transition, so I came to Pettable to get documentation so I didn’t have to wait months to get approval from my landlord to bring a pet home. The process was straightforward, timely, and made me feel so valid in my journey. Now I am raising a puppy and never been happier and healthier! I can’t recommend Pettable enough!

My pup provides relief in stressful situations, particularly when I'm away on necessary travel. Pettable was an amazing resource, connecting me with a therapist who listened to my situation and provided advice above and beyond. I could hear Rhiana's compassion over our call and appreciated her patience. Grateful for this service!"
