Effective July 14, 2021, CDC is temporarily suspending the importation of dogs from

countries NOT at high risk, if the dog has been in a high-risk country in the previous 6 months.

These rules apply to all dogs, including puppies and emotional support dogs. These rules also apply whether you are (1) just visiting the United States with your dog, (2) importing dogs into the United States, or (3) traveling out of the United States and returning with your dog after a temporary visit, such as a vacation or for visiting friends and relatives.
Dogs that don’t meet CDC’s entry requirements won’t be allowed to enter the United States. They will be returned to the country of departure at the importer’s expense.   CDC is taking this action to ensure the health and safety of dogs imported into the United States and to protect the public’s health against the reintroduction of dog rabies, which has been eliminated from the United States since 2007.
For more information on the suspension, please see Notice of Temporary Suspension of Dogs Entering the United States from Countries Classified as High Risk for Dog Rabies
