Business ProfileforThe United States Service Dog Registry
Additional business information
BBB has received information this business may: fail to provide service dog registration after payment has been received; and fail to respond to consumer inquiries. BBB contacted The United States Service Dog Registry regarding business practice concerns. The business did not respond.
However, consumers should be aware the business website states:
“At our heart, we hope to help reduce abuse of the ADA by requiring our Registrants to understand that intentionally misrepresenting an animal as Service Animal for any reason is not only unethical, it is also in violation of federal and local laws.
We do not certify or authorize anyone to use a Service Animal — nor is certification required by law. The privilege to use a Service or Assistance Animal is granted, under the law, by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and local governments. If you are unsure if you qualify, please consult a local Service Dog trainer or organization. For more information, please review our five key points below.”
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) also informs consumers that service animals are not required to be registered or certified:
“Covered entities may not require documentation, such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal, as a condition for entry. There are individuals and organizations that sell service animal certification or registration documents online. These documents do not convey any rights under the ADA and the Department of Justice does not recognize them as proof that the dog is a service animal.”
Consumers should also be aware that according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals are not required by law to wear vests and a business may only ask the owner two questions:
1.Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
2.What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
