Profile For Teri G.

Big Scott, Thank you for the information. As I said, no pet friendly companies have made an offer yet. Perhaps I was unclear: I am seeking a letter from my VA doc on order to get an animal certified, not just to present to a company. I believe , though, that your statement still would apply with the possible exception being that half of my disability is PTSD. Not sure, must do more research. Thank you for your input.

I am a 52 year old disabled veteran with stress, depression, and PTSD. I rely on the park kitties since mine crossed ovrr several months ago. I've checked out pet friendly companies but none have come through with an offer. The only good offer I've received is with a company that does not allow pets. I've read the articles about driving with pets but none address my question: if I have a certified therapy animal, is a not pet friendly company required to accept the animal? I would love to work for a pet frendly company but am, literally, 2 months from homelessness, do I might have to take what I can get at this point.

Like Gary, I spent 15 years in higher education admin. After programming their systems by trial and error - my background is NOT in IT, I have a BA in English Lit - I was told I was out of touch with college customer service practices and found my head on the chopping block. When I finally got another admin job, I found myself watching for the hatchet to fall again and drinking myself stupid to deal with the stress. Now I'm 52, divorced, kids all grown and all over the country, no home obligations. I just finished truck driving school and looking forward to going OTR.
