Emotional Support Animal Letters for Arizona Seniors
Moving to a smaller home, a rental or a community with pet rules should not mean giving up the animal that keeps you company through hard days. Take a free screening from your own chair, and an Arizona-licensed clinician will let you know if an ESA letter is supported.

Their purpose must be in writing, and any fee or deposit not labeled nonrefundable is refundable.
Questions Older Arizonans Ask About ESA Letters
Six questions, kept like prints in a family photo album.
Does age matter for an ESA letter in Arizona?
No. What matters is whether a licensed clinician finds a mental or emotional disability that substantially limits a major life activity and that your animal helps with it.
Who can older adults call for help in the Phoenix area?
The Area Agency on Aging, Region One runs a 24-Hour Senior HELP LINE at 602-264-HELP (4357), toll free at 888-783-7500, and by text at 520-775-1899.
Is there a senior rate for a dog license in Tucson?
Pima County charges $15 instead of $20 for an altered dog owned by a senior or a person with a disability, limited to four dogs per household.
What should a written accommodation request include?
Your name and address, the animal you are asking about, a plain request to make an exception to the pet rule, and your clinician's letter attached. You do not need to list your diagnosis.
Is a landlord liable for harm from an animal it approved?
Not for harm the animal causes. Under A.R.S. 41-1497.38, a landlord that permits an assistance or service animal as a reasonable accommodation carries no liability for its injuries or damages.
Do I need to travel for the evaluation?
No. The screening is online, and an Arizona-licensed clinician reviews it and meets you by telehealth when appropriate.
