A Labrador dog is the typical image of service animal that comes to most people's minds.
However, not only do different dog breeds provide similar assistance around the world to their owners with visible or non visible disabilities but so do different animal species altogether.
For example; Cappuchin monkeys are trained as Helper Monkeys for People with paralysis while Miniature Guide Horses are trained to assist owners with no vision.
That being said, we want to know what type of animal you ever saw providing assistance or guidance to their owner with special needs in a public place. Tell us what was your reaction was and that of others.
We really are interested in your thoughts!
Our discussion forum explores new opportunities to expand barrier free access in Canada and USA for people with disabilities using a service or therapy animal for assistance.
Role of CRTASA
- CRTASA
- Canadian Registry of Therapy Animal & Service Animals (CRTASA) is a centralized registry operating in Canada & US since 2010. It registers service & therapy animals and extends annual memberships to verified applicants that also receive a valid CRTASA Photo ID Card to readily confirm their rightful ownership of their official animal to a place of business. Service animals registered by CRTASA include guide dogs and other trained species (eg. helper monkeys, miniature seeing guide horses, etc..) CRTASA does not certify service animals - it only registers those already officially trained/certified to assist their owner with a disability. The standardized CRTASA Photo ID Card alleviates past confusion that variety of ID Cards (issued by different states, provinces and training facilities) posed for businesses across North America - many of whom were unfamiliar with the issuing body. CRTASA members also benefit from point of purchase discounts on animal products/services extended by participating CRTASA corporate fellows. For details Email: info@crtasa.com or visit www.crtasa.com
