A service animal is defined as a dog that is trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disability. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual’s disability (28 CFR 35.104; Health and Safety Code § 113903).
1) A service animal also includes a miniature horse if the horse is trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities, provided the horse is housebroken, is under the handler’s control, the facility can accommodate the horse’s type, size and weight, and the horse’s presence will not compromise legitimate safety requirements necessary for safe operation of the facility (28 CFR 35.136(i)) (see the Service Animal Policy for further).

The employee considering the request shall be responsible for making permissible inquiries to determine the status of the alleged service animal and suitability for entry into the Jail.

D) If the animal qualifies as a service animal, but the animal would jeopardize the safe operation of the jail or would pose a direct threat to the health and safety of others, the animal may be separated from the detainee. The detainee may make arrangements for the animal’s care. If this cannot be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time, the animal should be delivered to Animal Control. The detainee shall be notified of their animal’s location.
E) If the animal needs to be separated from the detainee, the employee shall ask the detainee if separation from the service animal would constitute or create a medical emergency. If the detainee claims the separation will constitute or create a medical emergency, the detainee should be taken to a hospital facility for medical clearance.
F) If the animal is determined to qualify as a service animal, the detainee must be able to care for (i.e., feed and clean) the animal, or provide an attendant who can come to the Jail to accomplish the same care. The detainee must also agree to ensure the animal’s transfer from the Jail no later than four hours prior to the detainee’s transfer to court or other facility. If the detainee cannot accomplish these things, the animal will not be allowed into the Jail. The detainee may then make arrangements for the animal’s care. If this cannot be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time, the animal should be delivered to Animal Control. The detainee shall be notified of their animal’s location.
