Yes, we have two separate sober living homes that can host clients with dogs. Both are in the greater Los Angeles county region. One location is set up as apartments in a whole building dedicated as a sober living environment. Two of the seven apartment units are private one bed apartments, those two spaces are open for people with dogs (one large or medium or up to two small maximum). *No large terrier mixes or rottweilers. Other large dog breeds are case by case.

If a shared two bed apartment has someone comfortable with dogs then those apartments may be eligible as well, we typically do a meet and greet in the latter scenario. We make no guarantees with pets, if we have dedicated space open and unoccupied then we will gladly welcome you and your furry friend! 

Our second facility is case by case and as is a shared large house. So it must be a well behaved and trained dog. Non-allergenic and smaller dogs are easier to accommodate. We make no guarantees on accepting pets, we find we are able to host people with one dog maximum at this location more often than not.

One location is set up as apartments in a whole building dedicated as a sober living environment.

Yes, you may bring your emotional support animal with you in most cases. 

ESA's, not to be confused with service pets, are either self-diagnosed or can be classified also with a letter from a therapist or doctor. Some sober living homes, particularly in progressive areas like Los Angeles and Washington, do allow residents to bring emotional support animals. These homes often understand the role that animals can play in helping reduce anxiety, foster consistency, and provide emotional grounding in early recovery. However, policies vary depending on the home's rules, landlord agreements, and liability coverage.

When researching sober living homes, make sure to ask:

• Is your facility pet-friendly or ESA-approved sober living?
• What paperwork is required for emotional support animals?
• Are there breed or size restrictions?
• Will my ESA need to be crated or kept in a separate area?

For those in Los Angeles, many pet-friendly sober livings are emerging that intentionally design their programs around ESA accommodations. Programs like Design to Recover are leading the pack in facilitating this growing trend as the results speak for themselves.
