PSA! HELP ME GET AN ESA DOGGO!
Hey everyone! I’m sorry if this seems sudden or out of the blue, but I need some help! So, I had mentioned this on my tumblr page here -> foxroddraws.tumblr.com/post/17… But basically what’s going on is, my anxiety has been getting extremely bad lately. To the point where I’m hyperventilating, shaking, my heart is pounding and it’s becoming a struggle. Before it was never this bad, it would just be a small heart race for a couple minutes, but now this is lasting for an hour or so and I’m becoming exhausted. Worst of all, there’s no reason for it to happen. There’s nothing that triggers it or anything! I can’t take medication because I struggle taking meds in general and I don’t have enough money to spend on therapy, nor do I feel comfortable talking to a stranger about my problems. I’ve thought about this for a while and I’ve talked to a few people, and I think I know what I need. I need an ESA Dog! What does ESA stand for? ESA stands for Emotional Support Animal. This is an animal that’s main purpose is to help you coop and feel relaxed in certain situations, just by simply existing. These animals help with PTSD, Bipolar, Depression, Anxiety, and so on. For me, my anxiety makes it hard to go in some public places or public events, due to the fear of judgement or being close to a lot of people. An ESA is there to simply help you stay calm and relaxed simply with cuddles and affection. Simply holding and petting your dog slows down your heart rate and releases chemicals in your brain that help you to relax. How can you get an ESA? Any animal can become an ESA as long as they have standard obedience training and don’t cause a public disturbance. You need a verified letter from your doctor or a therapist (therapist is better since they’re psychological professionals) that states as a ESA being a “needed prescription” for you. Do ESAs need a vest or papers? Technically, they don’t need a vest, but a vest helps with not being questioned too much by store workers. The only thing you really need on you at all times is the paper your doctor/therapist signed for you. This proves that the animal is an ESA and that you are allowed to have it with you. Keep in mind that some places do not allow ESAs, since they do not have the same standards as a service dog does. Does an ESA need special training, like a Service Dog does? Nope! an ESAs only purpose is to just exist, because them existing and being by you is all that most people need. However, you can train them, if you want, to preform certain actions, such as compression therapy. But it’s not required. The only training they need is basic Obedience and Social training. What do you need from us to help? There are two options! Unfortunately, due to my living situation, I can’t afford or get a dog right now. Main reason is that money is tight and my mom wouldn’t approve of an ESA dog. On top of that, we have 3 pets total and it would cause mayhem to have a fourth one. Right now, I need to save up enough money to move out, have a stable income, and pay for the expenses of buying the dog, getting the stuff I need for ESA things, classes, food, and supplies. My plan wasn’t to get one soon soon, but within 2 years I was thinking that would be the best time for me. So to help you can either; 1). Support me on Patreon > > > www.patreon.com/foxroddraws < < < My goal is to hopefully make this a full time job. My goals are listed on the left side and you can shuffle through to see how much I need a month to consider it a full time. The max goal is $2,100 right now. It’s a lot, I know, but this is the only way I can keep my bank account stable and not worry about being low on money. I have a lot of cool rewards to choose from! Please consider and take a look! 2). If you really can’t afford to pledge monthly, than you can spread the word! Share this post on any social media sites you’re on. DA, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, FurAffinity, ect. The more this is spread around, the more notice it can get! I’m working as hard as I can to make this a reality. I don’t want to feel scared anymore, I don’t want to possibly end up in the hospital. I want to be able to go out without worry and have something with me so that I can feel safe again. Please help me, I will be forever grateful to each single person and I will never take advantage of any help I receive. Thank you everyone for reading this! Love, Alora <3
