I'm around 1, weigh in at 46 pounds, and adore cuddling. Look at the photo of me on my back - pure lazy clown. Then I was riding with my foster and put my head on her shoulder and fell asleep! Talk about laid back and you got it right - ME AGAIN. I was surrendered to the kill shelter, just a throw away junk yard dog but boy has my personality come out since I was saved from execution and am living the life of Riley with my fosters. Just look at my photos? What more can I saw except that I'm pretty terrific. I don't have to have a fenced yard but I surely do need good walks and exercise. According to my foster here is what she thinks: I picked up Amos this morning and he is doing very well with us so far. The officer handed him over to me and he did not seem to have any concerns. He came straight to me and licked my fingers before I had an opportunity to properly offer my hand for his inspection. He is very mellow. He seemed very comfortable riding home in the car for the 1.5 hour duration. He does not have basic manners as it seems no one has bothered to teacher him (he was a "junkyard" dog and owner surrender); but, after one night, he seems to understand an "off" command and seems very eager to please. We slowly introduced him to our 1-year-old puppy at a distance and they gradually worked closer to one another over the evening and they are already lying together with no issues, although we will continue to be vigilant. He is submissive to our puppy, rolling on his back, as well. Our puppy snipped at him once because he surprised her from behind and he just seemed confused as to why she snipped at him. He showed no signs of aggression. He is very affectionate and seems to soak up belly rubs and scratches. He did not like getting a bath, but he relented with some modifications and coaxing. He showed no signs of aggression throughout the process even though he did not like it. I also sat about two feet from him while he ate and he wagged his tail the entire time. So far, he shows no food-aggression with humans. I cannot say yet if he does with dogs, but he seems overall submissive to our puppy. I think he will find a new home with no problems. He seems as though he is going to be a very loving companion. Because of his affectionate mannerisms and viewing the photographs, Amos has high potential as an Emotional Support Animal. Emotional Support Animals (ESA) Emotional Support Animals are not required to undergo specialized training. They can be dogs, cats, exotics, birds. Their primary role is to provide their owners with emotional comfort. Emotional support animals can benefit a disabled individual psychologically. The basic gift of companionship and unconditional affection can be the therapy needed to counter a condition like debilitating depression or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. ESAs are protected under the Fair Housing Amendments Act (FHAA) and the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). People meeting the proper criteria are entitled to an ESA to assist them with life. The FHAA protects individuals by allowing ESAs to live with them regardless of breed (even with no pet policies). The ACAA protects individuals by allowing ESAs to fly with them in the cabin of an airplane without having to pay additional fees. ESAs are not required to be professionally trained. An owner can train the pet. However a letter of need written by a mental health counselor will be required.
