It isn’t really illegal since she has the requirements for an emotional support animal. She originally was gonna have it for only 1 day which was fine but now she’s trying to keep it for a week because she’s convinced someone will try to adopt it before she does, even though it’s been at the shelter for about half a year

I keep trying to tell her it’s probably best to wait a few more days but everything I say goes from one ear out the other

This is why it’s important you tell her you’ll have nothing to do with the dog and it’s her responsibility alone. She clearly has no plan for how she’ll have this dog there for a week and will definitely try to have you “watch” (read: dump it on you to do her finals) it. If she won’t listen to reason then she’s on her own for figuring it out.

I don’t know if this is the case for all shelters but I know some will do a thing where you can like “reserve” an animal until a specific time. I feel like that’s a very reasonable thing for her to try and do

I’ve already told her I won’t be in the room enough to dog-sit it and that she’ll have to find someone to watch it when she goes to work. I’ll ask her when her finals are and if they’re in-person or not

I’d also add that she’s responsible for any damages the dog makes if she plans to leave it in the room alone at any point.

OSD equivalent is the office of student affairs that mostly deal with accommodations for classes or housing

I have gone into the process for an ESA. I MORE than had the requirements. But UNTIL you get those legal documents from a therapist saying why you need to have an esa and you register the specific animal with the school, it’s illegal. Doesn’t matter
