No businesses, apartments, or airlines can charge you extra fees to have your service dog by your side

Under ADA law any breed of dog can be considered a service dog.

If you have a disability (a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities) then you are entitled to a service dog to do work or perform tasks for you. You are never required to disclose what your disability is to anyone, nor is anyone allowed to ask about your disability, require medical documentation, requires a special identification card or training documentation for the service dog, or ask that the service dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task.

PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by a terrifying event resulting in psychological trauma. It’s considered an invisible disability. People with PTSD experience depression, severe anxiety, hypervigilance, numbing, avoidance, uncontrollable thoughts, fear of public places, and panic attacks; as a result, they often end up living very secluded lives.

Javelan can assist with PTSD. A recent study conducted by Purdue University showed that persons with PTSD responded well to service dogs. 84% showed improvement when a service dog assisted with their care. JAVELAN will fund training for service dogs to help veterans and first responders manage PTSD symptoms.
