We may legally ask you the following questions:
Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?

We reserve the right to remove any animal, service or otherwise if:

The dog is not housebroken.
The dog is out of control, and the person cannot get the dog under control.
