Aloha,

My Reginald was in both Guam and Hawaii quarantines. You are correct
about Guam, Hawaii is better but still outside. He went through with his sister back in 2001 I believe, then it was a 120 day process. Just make
sure you have all the paper work required and shots. The link in previous thread gives you all the information you should need. If you need any
help please feel free to ask.

Thanks for the support everyone! Now that I'm awake, I reviewed the link and it's time to get down to business. Only one of my dogs has had two rabies shots, so the others are going to need to get that done. I think I'll make an appointment with my vet this weekend for the shots and sit down with her to make sure they'd be willing to do all the blood testing paperwork that's required. Crossing my fingers that they will.

Mary, just a curious question since you're in Hawaii. Are dogs required to get their rabies vaccine every three years if they don't travel?

No they are not. How are you planning shipping your animals and what time of year?

We're hoping to move in January, but it's just to soon to tell right now. Once the dogs have all their paperwork submitted for blood-testing, I believe it's good for 3 years.

Right now, we're hoping to fly them in cabin, as all are under 10lbs. It will be my mom, hubby and myself flying to transport all of them. The few times we went there for vacation recently, we always had flights that arrived in the morning, so I'd like to get something similar. Airline pet policies have changes so much that I have to start from square one with research. I believe Continental was the best way to transport them in cabin when I looked last year, but now that they've merged with United, I'm not sure if that's still the case or not.

I was looking on taking my pets on vacation with me in Oct but was
told it was a Hawaii State Law that no pets are aloud in cabin coming into
the state of Hawaii. I was using Hawaiian Airlines. Hopefully Continental
may over look the policy. What island are you looking to live on?

To the best of my knowledge no pets are allowed to travel in cabin to Hawaii. They go in cargo.

I have dealt with a number of people moving their pets. If you follow everything to the letter the same-day-release is very easy to deal with.

Correct it is a Hawaii State Law that no animals can be in the cabin coming into the state of Hawaii, no matter what the airline policy.

I live in Ewa Beach on Oahu. Well if you move here maybe are
little ones can have play dates. Since you lived here before
you know about the cost of living, traffic, etc.. You just can't
beat the the weather!! Do you have an area in mind where
you want to live? Let me know if I can help in anyway.
