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.
According to the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) in force in Oregon, housing providers are required to make reasonable accommodation for emotional support animals and service animals. They can ask you to provide an ESA or PSD letter to demonstrate the need for the assistance animal. But they cannot deny a support animal, even if they typically have a "no pets" policy.
This means that a housing provider cannot charge you extra for having your support animal live with you. They also cannot impose breed or weight restrictions. The only way they can deny your animal is if it significantly damages property or poses a direct threat.

While service dogs are federally required to be admitted virtually anywhere, emotional support animals do not have this same protection. Because of this, an employer is not obligated to allow you to bring your support animal to work.
However, it never hurts to ask. Your employer cannot discriminate against employees based on disability, and if you explain your situation and produce a valid ESA letter, they may be willing to make accommodations for you.
As of 2021, the Air Carrier Access Act has been modified to no longer obligate airlines to allow emotional support animals on board in the cabin. While service animals still have this protection, ESAs are taken on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the individual airline.
Be sure to ask your airline ahead of time if they are willing to accept your ESA. If they deny your animal, you may still be able to bring them with you as a regular pet, assuming at fees and pets policies the airline has in place.
When it comes to public transportation and other public places in Oregon, service animals are allowed access, but emotional support animals are not required to be. When entering a public place, you can always ask before you enter—but remember, they are completely within their rights if they refuse.
If you think an emotional support animal may be a good fit for you, connect with a mental health professional licensed in your state. They can assess your mental health condition to determine if you qualify for an ESA—and then write you an ESA letter if you do.
At Pettable, we've provided a simple, convenient process for you to schedule a live consultation with a licensed mental health professional (LMHP)—without ever having to leave your home! With our telehealth marketplace, you can avoid the hassle by making an online appointment with an experienced LMHP to be evaluated for an ESA.
