Therapy Pet Policies 2.0
Oregon's Resident Director

animals in residences are becoming
far more common than they were even
10 years ago, but not all programs
on college and university campuses
are implemented and executed in the
same way.
Oregon State University (OSU) in Corvallis prides itself on being
at the cutting edge of trends and best practices, and the same is
true of their model for animals in residence halls. Based on a
format utilized at Clemson University in South Carolina, OSU
developed a check-list contract approach for working with students asking to bring their service or support/assistance animal
to campus. The check-list helps staff have a meaningful dialogue
about all areas to consider and helps to mitigate unforeseen consequences, as in the case of untrained support animals that are coming into residential spaces where other students are living. What
makes OSU's program unique is the focus on the animal's impact
on and integration into the community. In the words of Kathryn
Magura, assistant director of operations, "There is so much fear in
the unknown that the fear often keeps you from doing things well.
You can't let fear prevent you from serving students well."
The University of Massachusetts-Amherst has an expansive
animals in residence program that is unique and includes a
training program for pups destined to serve. In the state of
Massachusetts, any animal classified as a service animal (whether
in training or fully certified) is able to accompany their handler,
whereas an animal classified as an assistance or support animal
requires medical documentation and is an ADA-accommodated
animal confined to personal living quarters. At UMass, an outside
company offers animal handling classes to UMass students who
are fostering dogs to become service animals. As a result, under
state law, these student handlers are also permitted to bring their
dogs with them everywhere they go. These animals do not need to
be registered with disability services but do need to register with
residence life for tracking purposes. There are approximately 25
handlers and dogs living in residence as a part of this collaborative
program. Ryan Young, assistant director of residence education,
suggests becoming familiar with federal and state laws regarding animals in residence. His counterpart Lisa Giddens, assistant
director of residence education, stresses that the Animals in Training program has refocused the university on the need to have clear
and regular communication not only with the campus community
but also the surrounding town.
