When you visit a public pool in Florida you may see any type of dog within the fenced in pool area. It does not mean this dog should be there. People love bringing their dogs with them to the public condo pool to either hang out with them or go swimming with them.
The only animals allowed within Florida Dept. of Health rule in the fenced in pool area is a service dog. Service dog as defined by U.S. Department of Justice and the American with Disabilities Act(ADA) is a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. The tasks that are performed by the dog shall be directly related to the person’s disability.
