Jenks Library welcomes all service animals. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines service animals as “dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.” Massachusetts includes service animals in training in this definition. For more information on the ADA and service animals, click here!
Emotional support animals provide emotional support but do not have specific training to assist with work or tasks; they are not considered service animals under the ADA. Emotional support animals are allowed in Jenks Library, but they must be leashed, harnessed, or tethered, and may be asked to leave if they are disruptive to other patrons. For questions about emotional support animals in Jenks Library, please email library@gordon.edu. For more information on emotional support animals in dormitories, please contact Student Life.
Gordon College policy is that dogs must be leashed at all times anywhere on campus property.
