I’m a paraplegic and I use a service dog. I am unaware of any national registry for service dogs. I know that there are a lot of deceptive companies who sell registration cards and kits that are meaningless.

It’s my understanding that the airlines have found some loophole so that they don’t have to follow the laws concerning the ADA. I have an Amstaff service dog and would love to be able have the ability to board a plane with her if needed.

If anyone can point me to a legitimate national service dog registration please do so.

My 6yr old pit is a rescue dog. she was forced to fight for food, later she lost a leg in a car accident, broke another leg into peices, and suffered a broken vertebrea. she is mostly recovered..still needs more PT. Her deadliest move is to lick you forever. I am an Air Force Veteran relocating to Hilo due to fiancial and medical hard ship. I currently have a claim for disability based on PTSD and other ailments, and under treatment at VA in Hilo, HI.. Bunny keeps me calm cuz i focus on her, and i worry less about me. less stress, less anxieties. we comfort each other.

thanks Kevin
