Thanks for your support by reading my complaint. I contacted customs yesterday with little results. Response I recieved is below. I don't know who else to contact after reading this.

"Please allow me to provide the inspection process for puppies or dogs from other countries. Puppies or dogs being imported into the U.S. must appear healthy upon arrival and have a valid rabies certificate (in English) signed by a licensed Veterinarian. Visibly diseased puppies or dogs that arrive in the U.S. are examined by a U.S. Department of Agriculture Veterinarian. If the animal is deemed inadmissible due to disease or pest infestation, the animal is destroyed and disposed of according to regulation to prevent the spread of disease or pests to other animals in the U.S."

Their reply sadden me.
