Nitrox the dog looking for a new home!

I just got an email from Veronique, who is leaving the island and returning to France. She's looking for a home for her 8 year old dog, Nitrox.

The email states, that the family that bought her dive shop can't keep Nitrox since the son has alergies. She leaves for France the 20th of July. Nitrox is 8 years old, very friendly and socialable, loves people and is always with her.

She's really worried about Nitrox and if you can see it in your heart to give him a good home that would be super!

I don't know if she has considered taking Nitrox with her, but it is really not that much harder to take a dog to France than it is to the US or Canada. Basically all it would need is a microchip on top of the regular requirements. France is part of the EU and by and large it is not hard to take your pets to EU countries, many have done so. England though is a whole other ball of wax, it is difficult to take a pet with you to England, can be done, but it is quite the process.

2 different vet clinics on the island offer micro chip service. Watch dog (Maria and Omar) and I am pretty sure Julio on Ave 65 does also.

France is extremely dog friendly country. Not sure if Veronique is in a position to take the dog, but the dog would be best off with her considering it's age and the sheer lack of available homes on the island. Not to mention the shelter is so full none more can be taken in at this moment. And the shelter is far, far from a loving home, just not the place for such well loved dog as described in the above post. I truly hope she will find some help for her situation with Nitrox


When taking the necessary steps, importing dogs into France from the United States can be a relatively pain-free process.

Below is a detailed description of each requirement that needs to be met:

1) Microchip: Each Pet shall be identified by means of a microchip. No other form of identification is acceptable. The microchip used should comply with ISO Standard 11784 or Annex A to ISO standard 11785- otherwise the pet will need to be sent with it’s own scanner attached to the top of the crate.

2) All animals are recommended to have Full Vaccinations:

Dogs: Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Leptospirosis, (DHLPP) and Rabies within the last 12 months or a minimum of 4 weeks before arrival.

3) EU Vet Health Certificate (Form EC#: 998) – This is the standard Health Certificate to be filled out by your accredited Veterinarian. Although this certificate is technically valid for 4 months, it is recommended to be completed and endorsed by the USDA within 10 days of travel to avoid any customs issues upon arrival.

4) USDA Endorsement: The below referenced forms:

• Microchip Implantation Record
• Rabies Certificate
• EU Vet Health Certificate (this can be downloaded from the internet and filled out by your vet)

4. International Health Certificate: Your vet should have these in stock. It’s a good idea to call ahead and ask. This is an international health certificate that needs to be completed by your vet within 10 days of departure.
