Emotional Support Animals in Oregon

Oregon recognizes the challenges that come with having an emotional or mental disability and thus understands that an emotional support animal can be an important component of a person's mental health treatment plan. 

Anyone within the state who struggles with mental health may qualify for an emotional support animal. Oregon endorses the use of an ESA and tends to have friendly policies and laws in place to make this possible for its residents.

Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Laws in Oregon

Federal laws governing the use of emotional support animals extend to Oregon, ensuring individuals with disabilities have access to necessary accommodations. 

Some of Oregon's specific regulations covering housing, travel, employment, and public access for ESAs include:

  • Housing Rights: Under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), housing providers in Oregon must make reasonable accommodations for emotional support animals and service animals. This means they cannot deny accommodation or charge extra fees for ESAs, even if they have a "no pets" policy. Breed or weight restrictions are also prohibited unless the animal poses a direct threat or causes significant property damage.
  • Fair Housing & Employment Acts: While service dogs are federally required to be admitted virtually anywhere, emotional support animals do not have the same protections. Oregon's Fair Housing & Employment Acts offer additional safeguards against discrimination based on disability, potentially extending to ESA owners in certain situations. Employers are not obligated to allow ESAs in the workplace but may consider accommodations if provided with a valid Oregon ESA letter and a demonstration of need.
  • Travel Accommodations: ESAs may face limitations in travel accommodations under the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). Airlines have discretion regarding the accommodation of ESAs in the cabin, and recent changes to ACAA regulations may impact ESA travel policies. ESA owners should inquire about airline policies in advance and provide proper documentation when traveling with their animals.
  • Public Access: While ESAs do not have the same public access rights as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Oregon state law may provide additional protections in certain situations. ESA owners should be aware of establishment policies regarding animals and carry their ESA letter when accessing public spaces.

Emotional Support Animal Certification Oregon

An ESA letter is the only proper certification method for qualifying an animal as an emotional support animal in Oregon. This letter, issued by a licensed mental health professional, serves as official documentation that verifies the need for an emotional support animal to alleviate symptoms of a qualifying mental health condition. While some online platforms may claim to offer ESA certification or registration services, these are generally misleading or unnecessary. 

An ESA letter typically includes details about the individual's mental health condition, the therapeutic benefits of having an ESA, and the necessity of the animal for the individual's well-being. It should also include the LMHP's contact information, license number, and signature to ensure its validity.

ESA Registration Oregon Myths and Scams

It's important to debunk the myth surrounding emotional support animal registration in Oregon. Unlike service animals, which may require specific training and certification, there is no official registration process for ESAs. 

Here are some key points to consider:

  • Registration Isn't Required: Under both federal and Oregon state law, there is no requirement to register an ESA. The only documentation needed to qualify an animal as an ESA is an ESA letter issued by a licensed mental health professional indicating the need for the animal to alleviate symptoms of a mental health condition.
  • Beware of Scams: Many websites claim to offer ESA registration or certification services, often accompanied by official-looking badges, certificates, or ID cards. However, these documents hold no legal significance and do not provide any additional rights or protections for ESA owners.
  • Focus on Legitimate Documentation: individuals seeking an ESA should focus on obtaining a legitimate ESA letter from a qualified LMHP. This letter serves as official documentation of the need for an ESA and is the only recognized form of certification.‍
  • Educate Yourself: It's essential to educate yourself about the laws and regulations surrounding ESAs in Oregon. Understanding your rights and responsibilities as an ESA owner can help you avoid falling victim to scams and misinformation.

Who Qualifies for an ESA in Oregon?

If you believe an emotional support animal could benefit you, the first step is to connect with a licensed mental health professional in the state. They will assess your mental health condition to determine if you meet the criteria for an ESA and issue you an ESA letter if deemed appropriate.

Some mental health conditions that may qualify for an ESA in Oregon include:

  • Anxiety disorders
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Panic disorders
  • Phobias

This list is not exhaustive, and eligibility for an ESA may vary based on individual circumstances and the professional judgment of the assessing LMHP.

Benefits of an Emotional Support Animal for Oregon Residents

They Provide A Healthy Daily Routine

Having an emotional support animal helps people establish a healthy routine in their day-to-day lives. Having an ESA promotes an active lifestyle, and taking care of an animal comes with responsibilities that require individuals to set a daily schedule, which is known to provide immense mental and physical health benefits.

They Provide Emotional and Mental Health Benefits

Many people with mental or emotional health struggles find the mere presence of an emotional support animal in their lives to be of immense benefit. ESAs provide companionship, unconditional love, and a fluffy (or scaly!) friend who can uplift your mood and have a positive impact on coping with a mental health disability.

Relief from Costly Pet Housing Fees

An emotional support animal legitimized with an ESA letter from a licensed mental health professional exempts the animal and their owner from any pet fees, pet rent, or pet restrictions imposed by a housing provider or landlord. Having an ESA letter can be a source of financial relief for those renting their home, so long as they legitimately qualify for an ESA.

How to Get a Psychiatric Service Dog in Oregon

Obtaining a psychiatric service dog (PSD) in Oregon involves several steps to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. Unlike emotional support animals, psychiatric service dogs undergo specialized training to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a mental health disability. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to get a psychiatric service dog in Oregon:

  • Establish Disability-Relate Need for a PSD: Begin by consulting with a licensed mental health professional in Oregon. This professional will assess your mental health condition and determine whether a psychiatric service dog is appropriate for your needs.
  • Training and Acquisition: Once eligibility is established, the next step is to obtain a trained psychiatric service dog. Work with reputable organizations or trainers specializing in training service dogs for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. These dogs undergo extensive training to perform specific tasks tailored to your needs.
  • ADA Compliance: Ensure that your psychiatric service dog meets the requirements set forth by the ADA. This includes being trained to perform tasks directly related to your disability and maintaining proper behavior in public settings.
  • Public Access Training: Both you and your psychiatric service dog should undergo public access training to ensure you can navigate various environments together safely and confidently. This training focuses on obedience, behavior in public spaces, and adherence to ADA regulations.‍
  • Know Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with your rights as a service dog handler under the ADA. This includes the right to be accompanied by your psychiatric service dog in all public places where individuals are normally allowed to go, including restaurants, stores, and public transportation.

At Pettable we offer an online psychiatric service dog training program that enables you to train a PSD on your own. If you have a dog, or are seeking one out, that you wish to make a psychiatric service dog, consider our training offering. It's an extremely cost-effective method for getting your service dog.

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!"
