Emotional support animals are allowed but you must provide the airline with the appropriate paperwork and documentation explaining the function of your animal. Only small animals are allowed on your lap, all others must fit under the seat in front of you and not impose on your seat mate's space. No animal, regardless of its status or purpose may ever occupy the seat next to you. Any service or support animal must be well behaved or you run the risk of not being able to make the return trip with it in the cabin. People have tried to bring on regular household pets as "service animals" only to have them bark or misbehave badly and then gotten stuck without a ride home or onto their connection so make sure your animal is very docile and used to being in a crowded situation.
Sounds like the OP's best bet would be charter. Good luck!
