I've heard of DGs training seeing eye dogs for Service for Sight, but if they're not allowed to live in the house, wouldn't that impede their training? I've heard that seeing eye dogs have to be kept on a really, really strict regimen (i.e. no special treats, restricted diet, etc.) and I would think that having visitors at random intervals might throw that off. Maybe not. Do you have any experience with this Titchou?

No fish either. Policy says "no pets." Even House Directors have to get a Pet Waiver. There is even a form for it.

And if DGs are training them, they aren't living in the DG house with the animal. And yes, I do have experience denying such requests...we have never approved one of these.

Wow. That is eye-opening news for me regarding the no pets thing (can't exactly say why though! )
