Transfer to MCB in Okinawa ... rules for pets

Question

My husband and I are thinking about going to Okinawa, but I just wanted to find out what the rules are with bringing dogs with you. Is there a limit to how many you can bring? What sort of quarantine do they have to go through?? I'm looking for answers specifically for the MCBs in Okinawa.

Also, are there rules for Hawaii?

Thanks

Answer 1

Which base are you on now? I know that Camp Pendleton has an on base vet and has all the answers you need. If you can give me more information I'm more then willing to help :)

Answer 2

Japan is rabies free.   base housing is limited to 2 pets..and NOT all housing allows dogs.. the towers do NOT.  finding an off base landlord willing to  accept pets is hard, especially larger or aggressive breed dogs.  Rotts,Pitts and Chows are not even permitted into the country.  

Hawai'i is also Rabies free.  Quarantines for both run about six months, but with the right paperwork that can be completed in house.  On base housing regs are similar, off base might be easier to find somebody willing to rent with multiple or aggressive breeds.  

Answer 3

This explains it all.  I do know that pets are not allowed in the high-rises.
