Do You Qualify for an Emotional Support Animal or Service Animal? Utah law allows services dogs to be brought to all public places except for religious buildings and private clubs.Ruff Haven provides the Pet Sheltering Program to offer temporary pet care to dogs and cats due to crisis situations. A therapy dog is not a service dog or emotional support animal intended to assist one person only. The information about writing Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Letters and who can receive them can often be confusing.
