I have a three year old retarded and possibly autistic son that has recently benefitted from the companionship of a 7 month old weim/gshp cross. She protects him from hurting himself and has saved him fro injury many times now. Also, since knowing her, he has really shown massive improvement in learning and communication skills (he can't communicate at all, which she also helps us with;she will bark at us if he is upset about something until we fix the problem) and to lose her would be devastating to his progress. However, our lease for the next 6 months says we cannot have pets unless they are service animals. I am just wondering where to go and what to do to get this process started. I love my son dearly, and he really needs her. He has a tendency of running off on his own, and she stays with him and brings him back to us. This is all natural reactions to her, not trained. Please, if anybody can help....
