Oregon Service Dog FAQ

Do I have to register my service dog in Oregon?

No. Neither the ADA nor Or. Rev. Stat. § 659A.143 requires registration, and businesses may not demand it.

What can a business in Oregon ask about my service dog?

Only two questions: is the dog required because of a disability, and what task is it trained to perform. No documents, demonstrations or pet fees.

Can I take a service dog in training into public places in Oregon?

Yes. The ADA doesn't cover dogs in training, but Oregon does under Or. Rev. Stat. § 659A.143.

What happens if someone harms or interferes with my service dog in Oregon?

Oregon treats it as a specific offense under Or. Rev. Stat. § 167.352: Intentionally/knowingly injuring or interfering with an assistance animal is a Class A misdemeanor. Report it to local police, and keep vet bills and witness details.

Do I pay a dog license fee for my service dog in Oregon?

Counties and cities may not charge a fee to license an assistance animal; guide dogs of blind persons are fee-exempt (Or. Rev. Stat. §§ 609.105, 609.100(4)). Your dog may still need to be licensed and vaccinated.

How do I file a complaint if I'm refused access in Oregon?

File with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), Civil Rights Division within 1 year of the incident, or with the U.S. Department of Justice at ADA.gov.

Can I fly with my service dog from Portland (PDX)?

Yes. Airlines at Portland (PDX) must accept trained service dogs in the cabin free of charge; most ask for the DOT Service Animal Air Transportation Form in advance.

Are service dogs allowed in rental housing in Oregon?

Generally yes. Trained service dogs are a reasonable accommodation under the federal Fair Housing Act and ORS 659A.145, so landlords should waive no-pet rules and pet fees, with narrow exceptions such as some small owner-occupied buildings.
