Greetings! Emotional support animals can reduce anxiety and increase support in their caretakers. Research indicates that having a supportive animal can improve our overall and mental health. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, sleep and concentration, a supportive animal may be helpful for you.
Emotional Support Animals are not service animals. Service animals provide a specific service and perform a task. Emotional Support Animals are not simply supportive pets they provide value to you and your family. They are protected under the housing laws. Visit https://www.tdhca.state.tx.us/fair-housing/docs/FHM-AssistanceAnimals.pdf to learn more.
Getting an ESA Letter for yourself allows you to keep your supportive animal in the home with you. Landlords are required to accept an ESA letter for you to keep the supportive animal in the home with you.
If you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia (inability to sleep), poor concentration, depression, fatigue, etc., an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) may help you. Please check your local shelter for adoption options as these animals can be a great support to us.
