(WABI) – Sen. Angus King introduced a bill to make dog importation less complex.
The ‘Homeward Bound Act’ could remove barriers for certain owners and their dog when they return from low-risk rabies countries.
Military, diplomatic families and service dogs would be given an 18-month waiver from the CDC’s dog importation rule.
The restriction required for dogs to be at least six months old when imported would be eliminated.
The microchip requirement for dogs born before the bill’s passage could also be removed.
Despite recent revisions from the CDC regulation, feedback from both the public and congress show the rule still complicates pet transportation.
