[nagdu] ID cards for sale online

[Julie J]

Hey Bunny!

I'm so glad to see you posting again!  I was wondering about you.  How are 
you doing?

I have seen service dog cards somewhere that say something like, "If you are 
reading this, you have probably violated the rights of a disabled individual 
using a service animal." and then they go on to explain the law.  I almost 
bought some at the time, but didn't, and now I can't remember where I saw 
them.

Best,
Julie

hi all,



way back when i began using a service dog (over a dozen years and 2 dogs 
ago) I had

gotten hastled so many times in malls, and stores, restarants et...

so i went online, saw the sites selling service dog id cards, jotted down 
some notes,

went into photoshop and word perfect and designed my own.

First i stated on card that under the law

disabled people are not required to carry proof that dog is a service dog,

and a summary of the ADA service dog deal, the ADA 800#, and my name as 
handler/owner.

and i put a photo of my service dog in vest on it,

I did not put my address as i felt that would be too much info for some of 
these yo-yo's

(hey im a disabled woman and here is where i live, come get me!!!)lol



I then took the plastic fishing license holder with pin on back and shoved 
the newly made ID card into it.

then i put it inside the zipper compartment of dogs service vest...



I always told folks (and still do) if they give me a hard time, ask for ID, 
certification et.. that

the ADA says disabled people dont have to carry a card or proove we are 
disabled and in fact

there is no LEGAL certification of service dogs in the entire USA...(school 
certification is not federal usa certification)



If they are still all upity about it i produce the card, show them, ask them 
to copy the 800# and to contact them for info on service dogs in places

of biz.. i tell them to ask dept of J to send them the documents on this so 
they dont end up in civil court for violation of civil rights, or fines or 
both.



I dont like the idea of producing a card because then folks think all people 
with a service dog HAVE TO HAVE A CARD and if not, no admit to shop et...



I think if you have a SD ID card and feel the harrasment warrents display of 
it,prequisit with "ada doesnt certify any dogs for service and furthr there 
is no law requiring I carry an ID card.





just my 2cents...(please hold back the tomatoe flinging)...



bunny who is tired and still recouperating from the car wreck 8 weeks ago.
