[nagdu] ID cards for sale online

[Bunny Davidson]

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.
