Companion animals provide much needed emotional support, which fosters a happier and healthier student body as a whole.
Pets are a very important part of my life! I beileve pets offer many benefits for student life. They can teach valuable life lesson on responsibilities, they are a great way to releave stress (especially during finals week), and most of all they are a great way to make our homes away from home feel alot more like home.
The specific policy is found at http://policy.uconn.edu/2011/05/31/pets-at-work/ This is the general information about assistance animals. https://www.animallaw.info/statute/ct-assistance-animals-connecticut-assistance-animalguide-dog-laws
Dogs and Cats create a happier environment that will foster responsibility and compassion in the student body.
Having your pet on campus can improve your mental health and establish responsibility! Go Huskies!
Stand together.
Lets get animals!

I live off campus and have a dog! I think a pet can be great in relieving stress and anxiety, as well as providing college aged kids with a "purpose" in life. It is so nice going home knowing a happy pup is waiting for you, and I really think (if done correctly and responsibly) on campus pet ownership could improve students' lives!
