Wonda,
Go to the AAAS Web site - Spay/Neuter for dogs and cats | Dog Adoptions | Trap neuter release programs | Emergency medical treatment in Sosua, Charamicos, and Sosua Abajo in the Dominican Republic and have a look at the button - Adoptions to Canada! It will give you some idea of the process but a DERFISH said it depends where you are from.

You can also look at AAASosua on thier Facebook page on AAASsosua.

Unless its a servive dog it can be very expensive. A friend transports her dog usually once a year both ways and she spends approx 400 each way.

It costs $50 using westjet. Ask your vet at home bc it varies and also Google your country and taking pets to the DR.
I think I used something called pet passport, very easy and they gave me all the info online.

use the search function here ...'rabies' and see what you get

its all laid out for and isn't that hard...huge library on this

Hi:

Is your dog small enough to be in a soft sided carrier at your feet on the plane? Where are you flying out of? If it is North America you need to go to your vet and have him fill out an International Travel form/document showing that your dog has had it's shots, especially rabies. You than bring that form with you when you travel. The form needs to be dated, I believe 10 days prior to your flight. When you check in the airlines may ask you for a copy of the form. Make an extra photo copy in case. When you arrive in Punta Cana you will go through customs and someone from Animal Control will spot you and take you to a desk to exam your travel papers. He will fill out a DR form and you will give him around rd400 or about $10usd. He will give you a copy of their form. Keep this. You will need to show it to officials when you are leaving the country. That is it. When you leave the DR find the Animal Control office and clear your pet BEFORE you go to check in. You will need to go to a vet in the DR to get a new International form about 10 days before your flight just like you did when you came to the DR originally. Remember to bring heart worm pills and flea and tick medicine. If the dog is too big (over 20 lbs.) and needs to be in the hold than you need to find an airline with a climate controlled pet bay. I brought my dog regularly inside the plane and never had any problems. If you are bringing the dog in cabin and purchase seats with extra leg room you and your dog will be better off. Also again if bringing the dog in the cabin get a soft sided dog carrier. In the hold you will need a cage. Good luck
