Answer online

Tell us about your symptoms, your animal and your Sunrise address in a few minutes.

A mental health professional licensed in Florida reviews your answers and talks with you by telehealth when needed.

Receive your letter

Approved clients pay and get a signed PDF, usually within one to two days.

What Sunrise Clients Can Get

Letters are the core. The certificate and ID card are optional extras, never a substitute for the letter.

ESA housing letter

For renters, condo owners and HOA homes where pets are limited or banned.

More than one animal

A single letter can name up to three emotional support dogs or cats.

Psychiatric service dog

For handlers whose dog is trained to perform tasks tied to a mental health condition.

Landlord follow-up

If your property manager has a question about the letter, the clinician's office can clarify it.

Inside a Letter a Sunrise Landlord Can Verify

Tap each part of this sample to see what it does and what a housing provider can check.

Pick a numbered part

Each part answers a question a property manager is allowed to ask. None of them reveals your diagnosis.

Sample layout only. Your clinician writes the actual wording after evaluating you.

Sawgrass Mills, the Arena and Your Animal

Sawgrass Mills opened its first phase in 1990, and the nearby arena is where the Florida Panthers won back-to-back Stanley Cups. Busy places, different rules.

Service dogs

A trained psychiatric service dog can accompany its handler through the mall and stores.

Support animals

An emotional support animal follows each store's pet policy. The letter is for housing.

Event venues

Arenas set their own pet rules. Check before game night if your animal is not a service dog.

How Sunset Village Became Sunrise

1960

Developer Norman Johnson buys 2,650 acres in southwestern Broward for $9 million.

1961

Sunrise Golf Village takes its name after retirees object that "sunset" sounded too final.

1960s

An upside-down show house, featured in Life magazine, draws buyers who came to stand on the ceiling.

2024

A five-story City Hall opens, bringing most city departments under one roof.

Broward Tags on the Everglades Edge

Sunrise reaches west to the Everglades and south past I-595, and every part of it follows Broward County's animal rules. Keep the tag record with your letter, since a leasing office may ask for both.

Four months

Dogs and cats need a tag from this age.

Rabies first

A current certificate comes before the tag.

Every year

Registration is renewed annually.

Sunrise Renters Ask

Florida looks at who wrote the letter, not where you met them. A letter from a Florida-licensed clinician who evaluated you by telehealth is the kind the state recognizes. A certificate or registry number on its own is not.

Neighbors of Sunrise

General information for Sunrise residents as of September 2026, not legal advice. Broward County Animal Care sets tag rules, and each store or venue sets its own pet policy. Screening does not guarantee a letter. In a crisis, call or text 988.

It takes a few minutes, costs nothing and tells you whether a Florida clinician can support your request.
