Requirements:

Dogs must have an Interstate Health Certificate. These are only good for 10 days so keep this in mind when you are making your vet appointments.

Every dog boarding transport must have been quarantined for a minimum of 2 weeks. This means that the dog has not been in a shelter/pound environment. Dogs may be have been boarded at a vet’s, foster home, or reputable kennel. We average about 30 dogs per transport and under no circumstances will quarantined dogs be boarded with dogs that have not been quarantined.

Dogs must:

• Have a copy of their medical records ad Health Certificate ready for review at boarding.
• Be at least 8 weeks of age and had 2 rounds of vaccinations. We prefer dogs to be at least 12 weeks but the USDA guidelines states puppies can be transported as young as 8 weeks old. Vaccinations should cover, Distemper, Hepatitis or Adenovirus-2, Leptospiriosis, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus. Some series such as the DHLPPC includes Corona which is acceptable as well.
• Bordetella Vaccine
• Negative fecal for intestinal worms and parasites
• Rabies vaccine if age appropriate
• Prior to boarding, all dogs must have a collar with their ID on it. The tape collars they use at vets offices works wonderfully. Just make sure you write the dogs name in permanent marker and provide a phone number of the receiving and/or sending rescue. The name printed on the collar must match the name on their health certificate.
• Dogs that have had surgery (spay, neuter, etc) must have had the procedure 7-10 days prior to transport.
• If at any time we notice a dog to be in ill health or have visual signs of sickness we have the right to deny the dog loading onto transport. This is out of concern for not only the individual dog but also all the dogs that are on the transport.
