Service Animals

Service Animals:  Persons with disabilities and their service animals that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for those persons with disabilities are welcome at MMH.  Pets are not allowed and will be turned away.  Any animal whose task is to provide protection, emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship, is not considered a service animal and will not be allowed into MMH.

All service animals must remain by the handler’s side at all times and must be harnessed, leased, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal’s work or the individual’s disability prevents using these devices.  In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls. Care and control of the service animal is the sole responsibility of the owner, including clean up. Anyone brining an animal into MMH will be responsible for and liable for any damage or injury caused by the animal.
