Lots of dogs come here from the US and although the quarantine used to be very harsh (I think at one time it was six months!!) I believe it is much easier now. There are dogs coming in from all over the world-including mainland Europe. I will ask on the Aussie dog forums as there are lots of people who have imported from overseas-this is a very sad situation and hopefully there will be a solution. |
Firstly we would like to thank everyone for their support ..we are totally overwelmed by the responses. We have been communicating with AQİS on several occassions via email.....and yes everytime the same response...6 months in a AQİS approved country. the thing is we were thrown into a tough financial position and can in no way afford to send Dolce from country to country and I personaly feel that it just would not be healthy on a mental level to be bounce Dolce around from home to home.We would prefer to have him adopted into a good loving home.....we will interview every person ...visit their homes...they must have experience with small dogs and be everything that Dolce deserves. We just wish we could stop time.....or awaken from this dream like feeling. I have tried looking at OZZİE forums such as this one but have come up with nothing...I even tried looking for a Yorkshire Terrier Club in Melbourne which is where we are from and have only come up with A SMALL DOGS CLUB......I emailed them but no answer. Look I would again like to say thank you to you all......I will of course keep you updated with what goes on ...and will update everyone
Grazie (Thanks)
