Would it be unethical to have a tripawd as a psychiatric service dog?
I would love some honest opinions, I’ve been stuck going back and forth on this decision.
I have severe anxiety, ptsd, depression, adhd, and ocd and it’s super hard for me to leave the house or function in society. My foster is a 1 year old tripawd with a hind leg amputation, and she’s the sweetest dog in the world. She loves everyone, loves being in public, is super trainable and loves to learn. She’s high energy and currently does a couple long walks a day, plays with other dogs, and likes to fetch.
I’ve been thinking about adopting her and training her as a psychiatric service dog. I really only need her to join me at the grocery store or lay in the sun at a coffee shop, no physical tasks besides maybe learning to bring me medication during a bad panic attack. I’ve noticed how much calmer and less anxious I’ve been since having her.
Would it be unethical to have a tripawd as a psychiatric service dog? Her wellbeing comes first obviously.
