[NAGDU] Apartment Complex- Picking up poop

[Sherry Gomes]

I don't think I'd agree to it. I'm not as confident with fair housing rules,
but I don't think they can request a health certificate to prove a service
dog doesn't have diseases. If they can't do that, then I wouldn't agree to a
DNA test either. If they can request a health certificate, then you'd
probably have to agree to the DNA. I wouldn't like it either way and would
probably live somewhere else.

Subject: [NAGDU] Apartment Complex- Picking up poop

Hello there!

I am involved in a guide dog handlers group and someone asked if an
apartment complex can require their guide dog to submit to a fecal DNA test
if they are requesting all animals in the complex to do so upon move in. The
conversation developed and one participant stated that guide dog handlers
weren't required to pick up poop. I emailed NAGDU and got the response that
some communities have ordinances that don't require guide dog handlers to
pick up the poop but since we as blind individuals are trying to get our
society to treat us as equal and full participants, we should pick up our
dogs poop. I totally agree. What do you all think about the Fecal DNA test?
I left a voicemail for the hotline but just was curious what you all
thought. 

Thank you,
Jessica N. Naert
