The CDC’s temporary suspension for dogs entering the United States from high-risk countries for dog rabies implemented in July 2021 will be extended until January 2023. Effective June 10, 2022, import eligibility for all dogs (pets and dogs intended for resale/adoption) from high-risk rabies countries will expand and allow import options for dogs vaccinated for rabies in the U.S. as well as in foreign countries provided the dogs meet the requirements outlined on the CDC’s website. Learn more on CDC.gov.

Dogs imported for commercial sale or adoption must meet both APHIS Animal Care (AC) requirements as well as APHIS Veterinary Services (VS) requirements. As of August 16, 2021, VS has approved and implemented the Federal Order for Importation of Live Dogs for Resale from Regions Where African Swine Fever (AFS) Exists or is Reasonably Believed to Exist.
