Service Animals and Pets
Wondering if your dog can come with you to the visit the Capitol? Learn more about our service animal and pets policy.
Pets
Much of the Capitol Campus feels like a park, and your dog or other pets are welcome on the campus grounds. For the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, pets must always be under your physical control and cleaned up after.
Pets are not allowed inside buildings.
Service animals
You may bring a service animal when visiting campus.
Service animals
Service animals can be dogs of any breed and size that are trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability.
Service animals are not:
- Required to be certified or go through a professional training program.
- Required to wear a vest or other ID to indicate they’re a service dog.
- Emotional support or comfort dogs.
Asking if a dog is a service animal
Our staff is allowed to:
- Ask if the dog is a service animal you need because of a disability.
- Ask what work or task has the dog been trained to perform.
Our staff isn't allowed to:
- Request any documentation that the dog is registered, licensed, or certified as a service animal.
- Require that the dog demonstrate its task, or ask about the nature of your disability.
Removing a service animal
We may ask you to remove your service animal if:
- The dog is not housebroken.
- The dog is out of control and you can't get it under control.
