Appellate Court rules autistic boy can have dog in Columbia school - Belleville News Democrat- hypoallergenic dogs

The appeals court’s opinion supporting Monroe County Circuit Judge Dennis Doyle’s ruling in August that granted a preliminary injunction to allow Carter Kalbfleisch to bring his autism service dog, Corbin, to school was filed Wednesday. The school district agreed to pay for Carter’s education at the specialized school, but has refused to pay to transport both Carter the dog to the school. There was no evidence presented that the other child would be allergic to Corbin, a hypoallergenic dog, that the school district could not accommodate both students, or that the school district or public would suffer a great hardship by having Corbin at school with Carter. In November, a Douglas County judge ruled a first-grader can take his autism service dog to school with him after the school district fought to keep the dog out. The Kalbfleisches want him to go to school just like he was going to school before he got the dog and they want the school to follow the law like they are supposed to.

Allergy-free cat business is closing - San Diego Union Tribune- Topic: hypoallergenic dogs

Allerca, the former San Diego company that generated headlines three years ago with claims it had created the worldâs first hypoallergenic cat, has quietly decided to stop taking orders at yearâs end. Allerca has never provided public evidence of a hypoallergenic cat or dog, and it has faced lawsuits and allegations of fraud. Bernadine Cruz, a Laguna Hills-based veterinarian and former Allerca spokeswoman, said the company had indeed produced at least one hypoallergenic cat. In 2006, Allerca tried to sell cat franchises in California at $45,000 a pop, but was ordered to stop by the state Department of Corporations for not filing the required financial disclosure documents. Last year, he launched the Montana-based company Carradan Skis, which markets allegedly handcrafted, high-performance skis made with exotic materials such as carbon fiber, bamboo and âcryogenically treated steel,â a treatment in which metal is exposed to liquid nitrogen at minus 301 degrees Fahrenheit, making it harder and stronger.

Topic: hypoallergenic dogs - Appeals court rules that Columbia boy, dog, can attend school there (Belleville News-Democrat)

The appeals’ court’s opinion supporting Monroe County Circuit Judge Dennis Doyle’s ruling in August that granted a preliminary injunction to allow Carter Kalbfleisch to bring his autism service dog, Corbin, to school was filed Wednesday. The school district agreed to pay for Carter’s education at the specialized school, but has refused to pay to transport both Carter and Corbin to the school. There was no evidence presented that the other child would be allergic to Corbin, a hypoallergenic dog, that the school district could not accommodate both students, or that the school district or public would suffer a great hardship by having Corbin at school with Carter. In November, a Douglas County, Illinois judge ruled a first-grader can take his autism service dog to school with him after the school district fought to keep the dog out. Douglas County Judge Chris Freese agreed with the family of Kaleb Drew when they argued the boy’s yellow Labrador retriever, Chewey, was a service animal and should be allowed into the school under the same Illinois law the Kalbfleisch’s have cited in Carter and Corbin’s case. The Kalbfleisch’s want him to go to school just like he was going to school before he got the dog and they want the school to follow the law like they are supposed to.
