How To Get An Emotional Support Animal Letter In Maine Online

An ESA letter is easy to obtain if you live in Maine. When you work with the team at Pettable, we will connect you to a licensed mental health professional (LMHP) in the state.

After attending a brief consultation - online or over the phone- they can write you an ESA letter that verifies that you have a qualifying mental health condition that benefits from an ESA.

ESA letters showcase the legitimacy of your support animal and are recognized under federal law concerning fair housing rights.

Emotional Support Animals In Maine

Maine does not recognize ESAs in the same way that they recognize service animals. As such, ESAs do not have the same public access rights. Nonetheless, ESA letters can be hugely beneficial when advocating for your rights, accessing fair housing, or bringing your ESA to your place of employment. 

As per Maine law, service animals are defined as dogs who are individually trained to perform a specific disability-related task. For example, a hearing dog who alerts a deaf handler to the presence of someone at the door or a psychiatric service dog who wakes a handler with PTSD up from a nightmare. 

ESAs differ from this definition as they do not perform a specific task related to a disability. Their presence rather offers great comfort and support.

ESA Laws in Maine

Maine's laws regarding emotional support animals and service animals primarily follow the guidance set at the Federal level in the Fair Housing Act. Those laws set at the Federal level extend to the state and grant protections to individuals with an ESA or PSD.

We cover everything you need to know about Maine law and how it affects emotional support animals to help you navigate your rights as well as the accompanying benefits associated with having an emotional support animal in Maine.

As per the Fair Housing Act (FHA), emotional support animals are protected under federal law. Under the FHA, housing providers cannot unfairly discriminate against those with ESAs and must make reasonable accommodations for them. A legitimate ESA letter can help you to get the accommodations needed to live with your support animal.

How Do You Qualify For An ESA In Maine?

The best way to qualify for an ESA letter is to book a consultation with a licensed mental health practitioner within your home state. An LMHP can be a doctor, mental health therapist, counselor, psychiatric social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist. They will meet with you and write a letter of support for your ESA once they have determined your needs. An ESA letter is much like a medical prescription. To get in touch with a licensed mental health professional in Maine, take our 3-minute assessment.

Benefits of Emotional Support Animals for Maine Residents

ESAs offer a wide range of benefits. Let’s explore how they can positively benefit their owners’ lives. 

Provide Mental and Emotional Stability

ESAs offer mental and emotional stability in many ways, such as by offering owners important structure and routine, encouraging physical exercise in the form of dog walks or playtime, and boosting a person's sense of purpose. Having your ESA around can have a positive effect on mental conditions like anxiety and depression both through tactile stimulation and by offering general happiness and joy.

Save On Costly Pet Housing Fees

An emotional support animal (ESA) can help you save on pet housing fees by providing a legitimate mental health benefit, which under certain laws, like the Fair Housing Act in the U.S., requires landlords to make accommodations for ESAs without extra charges. This means that if you have an ESA, landlords cannot legally charge you pet fees or deposits for your animal.

Provide Social Support

ESAs offer their owners safe, non-judgemental social support. Their physical presence can bring comfort and calm and can reduce the impact of anxiety and stress. Furthermore, they reduce isolation levels by offering social support and feelings of connection.

Verified customers. Real reviews.

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!"
