RE: Update on "Pirate" the bullied and abandoned dog

Lets hope Pirate is adopted by the Dutch. I remember you mentioned that adoptions slowed down during covid times and was curious have they now picked up again?

Sort:  
 last year  

unfortunately no. A large portion of our adoptions were going to the UK and USA and both of those countries changed their import rules to make it night on impossible to import an animal. The crazy thing about this is that while it is almost impossible to fly a dog into both of those countries you can fly them to a country next door such as Mexico or France and just waltz them in without any papers at all. It's just silly that these rules came into place and that they only apply to flights.

Absolutely absurd what the rulings have done and created walk arounds with no regulations. For me to fly my animals out there is a6 month quarantine which I have done before with my parrot and will do again when I do move. He was 3 months at Heathrow and made all the jet engine sounds and wish he still did the noises. Almost worth it to take him back lol.
