I want to know my right on my ESA LETTER
Do you have an emotional support animal (ESA) letter?
Yes
Great, **** ****! Having an ESA letter can provide certain rights and protections. Can you please let me know which specific rights you would like to know about?
I turned in my ESA letter to my apartment complex and it was approved but now I have not yet given that approval to bring him on the property I have to drive an hour every day to visit him at a friend house
Have you spoken to your apartment complex about the delay in receiving approval to bring your ESA on the property?
Yes I did she said she was going to email me but she said in the email that she has to send me a letter this week because it won't be a full approval because the puppy has not getting rabies shot and he was not nuded
Have you taken the necessary steps to ensure that your puppy has received the required rabies shot and has been neutered?
Yes he's too young it says that on his shot records that he's too young for the rabies shot and he's too young to be nude it neutered
I understand that your puppy is too young for the rabies shot and to be neutered. It's important to follow the guidelines set by your veterinarian for the health and safety of your pet.
I feel like they're overlooking that on his shot records it says he's too young for a rabies shot he just turned 5 months yesterday
Is there a specific reason why your apartment complex is requiring the rabies shot and neutering for your puppy?
That is their policy I thought my ESA letter should have been enough enough
It's important to understand your rights as an ESA owner. In some cases, apartment complexes may have additional requirements. Have you checked your local laws or regulations regarding ESAs?
I went to the animal control at the city hall and there's no such thing as a license for a puppy that's what they were asking for to get a City license and to have him neutered and to have his rabies shot how can I do this if he's too young
It seems like your apartment complex is requiring a city license, neutering, and a rabies shot for your puppy. However, your puppy is too young for these requirements. Have you discussed this issue with your apartment complex?
I did email her and let her know that he's just a puppy and I'm still waiting for her to respond I feel like that is just a run around like they're trying to make me afraid I don't know I just don't like the fact that they're giving me the runaround
