Petition Legal protections for autism therapy and disability dogs

Create legislative protection for therapy and assistant dogs of all types so that they can enter establishments and are permitted in rental properties. Legislation should not just cover guide dogs.

More details

We think this would have a significant impact on many people who rely on therapy dogs for assistance, for example those with autism and mental health issues. We think this legislation will stop landlords from being able to refuse tenancies based on tenants having therapy dogs.
